Robert Robinson (1907–1994) was a highly talented African-American mechanical engineer and toolmaker. Lured by high wages to the Soviet Union during the Depression, trapped there, he spent 44 years in Moscow's First State Ball Bearing Factory as a toolmaker, surviving Stalin's purges, the German invasion, famine, the Cold War, and continual disappearances of fellow workers. In Moscow he met black American poet Langston Hughes, and was friend of athlete, singer, actor, lawyer, and social activist Paul Robeson, an African-American of international fame. Born in Jamaica, growing up in Cuba, he and his mother were abandoned by his father when he was six and a half. His mother was born in Dominica and, in the employ of a young doctor, she followed the physician to Jamaica.
