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)?

Boy, dear old Patrice Lumumba U. ain't what it used to be. I always wanted a PLU sweatshirt but could not find one when in Russia.

Looked up Pozdnyakov = in love now.

I'm glad this kind of stuff is happening in Russia. Very nice to hear. And glad to know that you do that kind of activism. Sorry, haven't commented in awhile... been on a Sterligov binge. Now I want to sell my house and move somewhere far away. Lols
