In my experience, Russians tend to be quite hostile if you're anything but white.

I was once in a convoy driving through Russia. When we reached the border to enter Russia, they let all of us through without a problem, except for my friend, who they gave the full 3rd-degree border guard treatment to. My friend hails from Trinidad.

All the way through Russia, people were openly hostile towards him. I thought some parts of the UK were bad for racism, but that doesn't compare at all with what I saw in Russia.
