On the Path to Mutual Understanding
The article presents some episodes from the history of Russia's relations with the countries and peoples of the African continent, which contributed to the formation of a positive image of our country in Africa. From the time of the colonial division to the present day, Africans have seen and see in Russia an alternative to the West that colonized them, since our country did not have colonies in Africa. For Africans, it has always been an ally in…
Our African Studies Were Born Twice. Notes for Discussion
The article looks at the first period of Soviet African studies, when they were located within the framework of the Communist International. It is noted that the goal of the Comintern institutions and organizations associated with African countries was primarily to spread among them the idea of the coming world proletarian revolution — and that Africans should become its participants. This goal was the main one in the education system that was of…
The Growing Role of the Mutual Understanding
This article is devoted to the problem of mutual understanding, without which the harmonization of international relations is impossible. The problem of mutual understanding in international relations is considered on the example of Anglo-Russian and Anglo-Soviet relations in recent centuries. The friendly and hostile nature of relations between countries and peoples can be traced both in the official position of government departments and in the…
The 60th Anniversary of the Institute of Africa. Impressions of Its Early History
Attention to Africa increased especially at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, when most African countries ended their colonial regimes and established their own independent states. In the late 1950s, the Department of Africa was established in the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in the early 1960s, the Sector of Africa in the Central Committee of the CPSU. Africa has become a focus of attention and activity of other administrative institut…
The Turn in African History. For the 60th anniversary of the Year of Africa
The article analyses the turn in the history of Africa which began in the late 1950s and went on for several decades. 1960 was the year when this turn was particularly sharp. In that one year almost two dozen African colonies gained their independence. That year remained in world history as “The Year of Africa”, the symbol of this turn in the lives of African peoples
Hard Way to Khrushchev Thaw. In the Eyes of a Leningrad Student
The First Generation of Domestic Africanists
This article covers the following issues. The reasons why and how the African studies were born and existing in Moscow (late 1920th – 1937). Who were the first researchers for African studies and in what activities they were involved. How and what was the reason why this epoch came to an end tragically in 1937. What lessons could be learned today from that tragedy. Alack, no one of those researchers for African studies published the memoires, exc…
The Experience of Reconciliation, Peaceableness, Peacemaking
We, the South African Bolsheviks’
In South Africa, the Russian Revolution was admired by socialists and nationalists alike. The National Party soon stopped praising the Bolsheviks, but the effect of the Revolution on the nascent Communist Party was important and lasting. South African communists closely watched developments in Soviet Russia and established relations with the Communist International (Comintern) even before the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA) was born. The P…
