Admitted Russian Agent Butina Blames 'Racism' For U.S. Prosecution


Maria Butina arriving at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on October 26.

Maria Butina, the Russian national who served 9 months in a U.S. prison after admitting to being a foreign agent, said she blamed racism against Russians for the prosecution against her.

Butina made the assertion in an interview with the CBS TV news program 60 Minutes airing November 3.

“Let me take you back to 2016…around the election time,” Butina said. “Do you remember at that time how American media treated Russia? Everything was toxic. Tell me that there is no racism here against the Russians.”

@dfwgator

Well,I did see black Russians on my trips to Russia. Every one I saw was a male,and they were married to white Russian women. Never saw a single black woman,although they must exist.

These were all Communist Revolutionaries from the west,or Africa,that fled to the USSR to avoid being killed or put into prison in the 50's,60's,or 70's. A pretty humorless  bunch that did their home nations a service when they fled.

I am not so certain the Russians considered them to be Russian,though. It was one of those things nobody wanted to talk about.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
