Seen the link. The video there shows that the 'student' provoked the taxi driver with his defiant attitude. Clearly, with a phone in his face, the driver had the choice of either submitting, or face controversy. He wisely chose dignity.

No good that this cancel culture type of thing happens in Russia, though.

I also wonder, what kind of degrees do these African students enroll into at Russian universities? More, do they study in Russia because their countries are in friendly diplomatic ties with Russia (think Ethiopia, Sudan), or because fees are cheaper than at Western universities (even though they need to learn Russian and Cyrillic, because I presume English is not enough)?
