Victor,
I do not think that rascism is anymore prevalent in Moscow, and is probably less prevalent. Moscow is a huge city with diversity. If you have read posts on this topic as you say you have on this forum, you should know that you will be just fine. Go and enjoy Moscow and al tourists regardless of race, need to be mindful of more dangerous neighborhoods at night etc.

Victor, I think that racists only look for easy targets , they are always cowards. Just try to look confident, like you know where you are, I have recently been to Moscow and found it to be like any large city I have been to. i.e. not the most friendly of places, but equally used to seeing people from many ethnic backgrounds.
