People see Jean Gregoire Sagbo as an honest politician.
In a country where racism is entrenched and often violent, Sagbo's election as one of Novozavidovo's 10 municipal councilors is a milestone. But among the town's 10,000 people, the 48-year-old from the West African country of Benin is viewed simply a Russian who cares about his hometown.
He promises to revive the impoverished, garbage-strewn town where he has lived for 21 years and raised a family. His plans include reducing rampant drug addiction, cleaning up a polluted lake and delivering heating to homes.

Russia will be investing US $800m (£527m) into a new spaceport in the country's Far East, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has announced.
It is said to aim to ease the dependence on the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan, built during the Soviet-era.
The future cosmodrome will be built near the town of Uglegorsk in the Far Eastern Amur region, close to the border with China.
It is planned to be mostly used for civilian launches and should be operational by 2015.

This exercise is said to be biggest spy swap since the Cold War, between US and Russia in an exchange at Vienna airport.
BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna witness the spy swap on runway, which was similar to Hollywood flick.
Both planes landed at Vienna airport and were parked side by side. One plane brought 10 Russian agents deported from the US after a court hearing at which they admitted being agents for a foreign country. The other was said to have brought four people convicted of spying in Russia but given a presidential pardon after they signed to admit their guilt.
Both planes took off again after about 90 minutes.

New Delhi: India will introduce an advanced fighter jet it is building with Russia in 2018, a move that will bring sophistication to its air power but could also spark unease among neighbours China and Pakistan.
New Delhi has watched warily as China has made rapid strides in defence, worried that Beijing's long-term strategy for the region could involve encircling India.
