Summary/Abstract |
THE myth of the indestructibile primacy of Western countries - former metropolises in world affairs, including on the African continent - is crumbling day by day, proving its groundlessness. The colossus's feet turned out to be clay, unable to stand the test of time. Today, the West is at a loss over Russia's practical steps to strengthen friendly relations with the states of Africa and the East in the name of international security and cooperation for the benefit of all peoples.1.

Summary/Abstract |
COOPERATION with African countries is gathering momentum. Russia is gradually returning to the continent, offering its African partners a new format of bilateral relations that is drawing interest from state and business elites. Contacts with heads of state and governments are being reestablished, parliamentary diplomacy is advancing, agreements on cooperation in various fields are being reached (93 agreements were signed at the 2019 Russia-Africa summit alone)...

Summary/Abstract |
THERE HAS BEEN no stable peace for a long time now in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC or DR Congo), the key Central African country. Latent war in its eastern provinces has been going on for longer than one decade wiping off its democratic achievements and impeding the country's development. Arbitrary actions of the military, mass rapes, tortures, and the turning into slaves of young children and teenagers make thousands of people abandon their homes and flee for safety.1

Summary/Abstract |
THE OUTLINE of the DRC's contemporary foreign policy began to take shape with the end of the civil war (1998-2003) in the midst of a political and military crisis. To rehabilitate the national image and regain credibility on the international scene was not easy. The country had a large external debt (approximately $14 billion), lost its voting rights in the African Union (because of unpaid membership dues), and was poorly represented and passive in international organizations. During the transition period (2003-2005), the leadership's efforts were mainly to restore the devastated economy and lay the foundations of a democratic state. But instability on the eastern borders of the DRC, where disparate forces still fought each other, hampered those efforts.

Summary/Abstract |
RECENTLY, the African continent has found itself at the center of Russian and foreign media attention. We see headlines such as "Fight for Africa," "Bet on Cooperation," "The Russians Are Coming," and so on. Detailed discussions and conferences devoted to the problems and prospects of cooperation take place on various platforms. This revival is a result of the Russia-Africa Forum, which took place in 2019 in Sochi, giving a certain boost to Russia's interactions with the continent's countries and causing considerable anxiety in the Western countries that formerly colonized the continent. Preparations for the second large-scale Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg, scheduled for July 2023, are in full swing.
