Polityka zagraniczna i bezpieczeństwa Federacji Rosyjskiej wobec Afryki na początku XXI wieku - główne cele, tendencje i wyzwania
The Foreign and Security Policy of the Russian Federation towards Africa at the Beginning of the 21st Century- Main Goals, Trends and Challenges

Summary/Abstract: After the disintegration of the bipolar order, the Russian Federation lost its global power status. It faced new challenges, both in global and regional politics. In an attempt to counter American dominance, it sought instruments to counterbalance US influence. One of these was building ties with the African region. It is in this context that Africa plays a significant role in the Russian Federation's international political and security strategy. Russia is seeking to build political, military, and economic ties, including with those countries on the continent that share its skepticism of the liberal world order. These values may include respect for traditional social structures, authoritarian rule, and the development of a state-controlled economy. Africa is playing an increasingly important role in Moscow's international policy, particularly in the context of its geopolitical, economic, and strategic activities. Russia is seeking to strengthen its influence on this continent, which is perceived as a region of growing global importance.
