Frederick Bruce Thomas ({{lang-ru|Фредерик Брюс Томас}}; November 4, 1872 – June 12, 1928) was an African-American from Coahoma County, Mississippi who became a prominent businessman in the entertainment industry of Moscow and, later, Constantinople (now known as Istanbul). Thomas was born to former slaves Lewis and Hannah Thomas, who owned a farm in Coahoma County. He left Mississippi for London, intending to work as a waiter but then moved to Russia, where he owned and operated a number of successful theaters and restaurants. During the Russian Revolution, he fled to Turkey, where he had less success in business and went into debt. He was unable to return to the United States and died in a debtor's prison.[1] He was buried in the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery in Constantinople.
