Through Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy’s significant population of African students, immigrants, and refugees attending our church, we recognized the many facets of discrimination non-Russian people face in employment, housing, education, medical care, and everyday life. In response, we began a Task Force against Racism, a Medical Advice Center, a drop-in safe space with community programming, and food assistance programs for refugees and Russian-African interracial families. Our newest social ministry, the Seeds of Hope Urban Farm, began in 2014, to provide meaningful jobs with equitable wages for African immigrants and refugees. In addition to economic empowerment for otherwise underemployed people, Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy provides locally grown organic produce and volunteer opportunities to the broader community. Today, poverty and injustice persist in Moscow in ways not seen in Europe’s other capital cities. In the last twenty years, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened. The struggles of marginalized people have increased since the Russian economic crisis began in mid-2014. Since that time, the ruble has lost over 50% of its value against the dollar, and the prices of food, medicine, and other daily expenses have increased dramatically. Corruption remains a serious issue and some forms, like police demanding bribes from undocumented minorities, target Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy’s immigrant and refugee clients. Frequent racially motivated harassment and attacks, xenophobic policies, and the current economic downturn make daily life profoundly difficult for our community. In addition, many people from all walks of life – expats, immigrants, and Russians – feel an acute lack of interpersonal connection and social support in Moscow.
