| Summary/Abstract |
SOUTH AFRICA is today not only the leader in its region but also a significant player in the international arena. The country has a distinctive history abounding in events and facts that have evoked reaction all over the world. Russian-South African relations and the former Soviet Union's influence on developments in South Africa, and in the south of the African continent in general, deserve a careful study and indisputably arouse interest among scholars and analysts. But despite the long history of South Africa's relations with the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia, much less is going on now between our countries than one would have expected.
