and crunch the numbers yourself and see how that to go was reached. and why? by heading me to our website, r t dot com. what i'll see you again a couple of the all with more stories while you're practicing the numbers, the show. they just don't have to safe house to come after kids and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look for common ground. the the

we keep spend to stay in campbell county in limo. and today we want to discuss the history, the long history you may as it between the african continent and the phone last soviet union and u. s. s. are those of us who a student of history will remember the was an in to made relationship between the u. s. s. r, and form of freedom fighter. we will also remember that in many institutions of line in, in africa are the time the usaa side was being seen as in the breeding ground of marxism leninism. on many young africans,

colors was our truck to, to the u. d. all. and we will also remember that the russian revolution, the bolshevik revolution of 1900 down 17 is but many african countries which was under the yoke of western colonized issue. and therefore, when we talk about that history, it can never be seen without taking into account doc, reality, russia, all the us is r, as we knew it. and it's for, before we have complete success, which is that idea. and for that reason was seen as an important ally on one must ask why we must remember that african country is that all of them, the 54 of them was been victimize by. they had demonic unity in bowers. and when the 1900 on 17 river beach and to praise many

african leaders at the time who uh, in this struggle was taking a cube from it. if you look up south africa, for example, with the formation of the south african national native congress, which later became then see the guy didn't right. was what had happened in the soviet union in 1917 and bill was telling themselves we can actually do better. you tell us stuff from these colonial yoke. and if you look at the activities, even in nigeria with people like mckelvey there was sticking not to of, from these activities at the time. and even as the soviet union started to have its own in international affairs, it was seen very differently from western countries. first of all, it was seen at that point. oh, nice. and it was not involved in the scramble for africa. so the soviet union was

not present at byline. the soviet union did not top ended 3030 that was blaming the soviet union was seen as the bus didn't all have a lucian on the bus in of change which off with some people decide from the new york out of cost we, you know, that's from 1900 on 7, do you know of cost in the fast? why do all the role of the soviet union was not as prominent as it became after the world war 2? when the card was then came into the arena and we could very easily talk of by paula while the west on the soviet union. so in many ways, when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 done for this through to 1900 on fifties and ultimately 1900. the 6th is the not trying to lie was seen to be the soviet union for a number of reasons. if you look at the african national congress in south africa,

many of the freedom fights as well gravitating towards the soviet union. not only for you do a logical reasons, but for support financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes military support and this positions had to be made. so when you look at falls off with us, you'll find that there was a very intimate relationship between the soviet union and the african national congress. and it was not only confined to that. you will note that in the very early days of this struggle in the 1950 is a lot of off because we don't fight. that's why from that to the soviet union. the soviet union was being seen at the time. i believe that of based on when we talk about soviet union, we must also remember at that time the great influence in countryside does hungry countryside. just portland countryside, just in germany on when this color ships to i've been granted the movement to based

there was a lot of people from different parts of africa who then found themselves going to society in more school and in saint petersburg, at the behest of the soviet union, and that in itself grow naturally because the freedom fighters of the day on one can name the one for name gum. i've the nicer when gum i didn't master was over throwing them one king bed group. he inclined to watch the soviet union and didn't did when the swan hi dawn was being built. it is the soviets who actually find on the building of the us one item. and the q was also taken by form in chrome. when gun adi gained independence in 1957, one of the things that's happened is that you wanted to build the cost of them without out of costs. at that time, he approached several western countries. they did not agree. and when he told the

i'm now going through the soviet union, ben, verify not the person with them. and that is one of the reasons why in oklahoma, well then labeled as a communist. the sam label was also born by how many sick with ray of guinea was very sympathetic to the soviet style of the when i was as was indeed has been valid . and you will see at the time, because the soviet union talked about communism. there was something that was beginning to emerge in africa called me will not lose them on scientific socialism . and do you see it in uh, in, in, in chrome uh, in the gonna you see it and how many sickle today. and again, you see it in the more deep. okay. in the model and you see it and haven't been bella in. uh, jetta. yeah. you see it in the gum. i'm the nice that are in, in the, you know, you, you see it even in can you know, sufficient to prep

a number but then on offer comes socialism at that time. well progressed on monday . no sky was very strong in canyon at that time. and even in those days, many people inclined to the whole idea of moving to a governance system, which was not the one, the capitalistic, and you see it with. yeah, that it, when he talks about data, we show the collaboration is much more inclined to the views that are taking that into the soviet union on 1 may say marxism leninism with some african nice vision aspect of it. and later, the soviet union becomes account. wait account, the way to west on wild depth wants to bid that audio. they want to tell you what to do. the one to 10 you who to be you a friend, the one to 10 you were to trade with on many people are saying, but we have retained our independence. why should we be treated like the lives of children?

not the question is being asked to buy the modem box in the democratic republic of phone book is being thoughtful. you cannot ask for support, but little by stays. you have put me in a situation where the belgians want to remove me from power 9 months after we have the gained or independence. they have reported will go to the of the go to the cost of over the drum. but on the vosta you went to assist me and you don't want to assist me. i'm now asking the soviet union to assist me. and of course, they say that the danger of communism getting into the house of africa must be illuminated. and we now know that the code name used for the wound was saved and he was referred to satan because she was seemed to have been trying to watch the soviet union at the time. later. we also see the soviet union involved in the liberation, movement. demolition movements which cannot be finalized or cannot be granted

by as a part of the was particularly western europe and it is said, i think it is somewhat a moist as my cell and robot god be and will god. but we said that we who are losing of these, we swear by the collection of golf, big k 40 k 47. this was the weapon of choice for all of the struggle for independence. and do they also see that the, the involvement of the soviet union in was the big through supply obama. we see the involvement of the soviet union event during the on goal of civil war. when the south africans on the americans are involved crying to him for all his info is the theme b, it is the soviet union. and the cubans who actually and succeeded in ensuring that on board was not taken all of us. and it is important that the soviet union was not only involved in terms of trying to and sure the us the complete on site as well.

nobody in there do kitchen. i reno after the submission of but priest, emily, the moon. but you 1961. the friendship universities, the name, the more about your new funds that the i think in moscow and many of the guns then went to study at the patrice, emily long friendship university got to see of the soviet union. when the soviet union collapses on the countries then become what we now know them. and i've to put his truck on to blast and aust, and ultimately you have russia russia unfinished and is seen as the success of the soviet union. the russian federation is seen of the successful of the soviet union. and that is why even as we continue, you know, while that we say is multilateral, you begin to see that many african countries still gravitate towards this last year

. in the, on the funding there is no thought that we knew that russia was the color of the soviet union. we knew that the most coal was a friendly site and therefore place a number of countries even in this day and age. remember the days when the soviet union has supported the freedom fighting movement, the i remember those days when they support the people through education, they remember those days when they send, they have technology in even in places such as it's the up the they remember when they send the at the technology in different countries in the continent of africa, and it is out of boston, those dodge, or that is what time may cause i revival on the renewal of friendship between why the number of countries on gosh, on what i'm seeing is it quite evidently, incent, pronounced of the country public with the new administration. one see quite evidently

in there isn't activities that are taking place in the sy in the and region. and you can see the presence of russia or back up for innovation over us. you buy a government in the side of the region by a government in book enough for us. so by a government in these, there, by governments in modeling by a government indicating it cannot be the same. you uh, our friend in our, i'll meet on you, our friend who did not tell us how to be a you loft with us. we think that you can be a better friend than others who claim they are friends, but they want to tell us how to govern ourselves. and you can now see the kind of relationship is being a good point on our relationship. and the russians are responding in the context of that history. and the relationship is one that is built on in did

the relationship between the soviet union and now russia is like a tree which has been what had with the bladder, so died. and that is why it is intimate, intimate, because the soviet union was never, ever seen as color nies. never seen as people who scrambled on divided africa never seen as a parasite. that takes us because resources never seen as a the concrete that dictates the loss of gods, but seen as a friend with whom they can enjoy a symbiotic rather than a part of a city relationship. that is the context of don, very long history. we continue with the conversations about the continent of africa, but we will come again of the shock rate. see
