“Just 150 years ago Russia formally abolished slavery. Slaves in Russia were called ‘krepostyne’ or ‘fixed – the ones that couldn’t do with their lives anything without their master will. They can’t move away, couldn’t marry, couldn’t change their master. Were often beaten and were more or less a property. They could be bought and sold for cash or gold. Just like African slaves in USA, except they were local Russian white skinned people. So how much money did you need 150 years ago to buy a Russian man, woman or kid?”

In 1782, a 1-year-old Russian girl cost one-half ruble, “more than a price of a pig, but cheaper than a horse.”
Russians still deal in slaves. Now it's called "human trafficking."
