Friday, March 29, 2024USA Africa Dialogue Series - Why Russia Never Colonized Africa...Putin Explains Why. Reformatted. Thanks for sharing. An interesting topic indeed. Count Pyotr Alekseyevich Kapnist represented Russia at the Berlin Congress of 1884/5, but the question is this: Was he sidelined by the Germans, British, French etc., or did he choose to have a low profile? Under Tzars Alexander I, II and III, Russia was preoccupied with the Balkans and Central Asia and had running battles with the Ottoman Turks and France, in particular. Whatever the case, Russia is off the hook in terms of colonial occupation of African territory, whether by accident or design. It also assisted Africans in throwing off the yoke of colonialism and apartheid during the Soviet era. By venerating Alexander Pushkin to national status as the father of Russian Literature the Russians scored another point, given Pushkin's heritage. His great grandfather was of African origin. The video did not acknowledge that Russia is the world's third largest producer of oil. Incidentally, the United States is now the world's largest oil producer at 20 million barrels a day, double that of Russia. Dr. Gloria Emeagwali
