СССР, Китай и антиколониальные движения стран Юга Африки в первой половине 1960-х гг. (по документам РГАНИ)
The author analyzes the perception of Soviet-Chinese contradictions by representatives of the anti-colonial movements in Southern Africa on the basis of documents from the archival collection of the International Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU of the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History. As archival documents show, the confrontation between the USSR and the PRC had a noticeable impact on the activities of these movements. First, this led to some confusion among their leaders, since the essence of the ideological differences between the two communist countries seemed to them insignificant or rather vague. Secondly, the sessions and congresses of the Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation at that time became a field of fierce disputes between the Soviet and Chinese delegations, which, in the opinion of the Africans, only weakened the anti-colonial movement as a whole. Thirdly, the differences between China and the USSR provided African anti-colonial movements with a new alternative in the choice of foreign policy patrons in conditions when the USSR refused to provide assistance. This is especially true for organizations such as ZANU or the South African PAC.
