С середины 2010-х годов и вплоть до начала СВО происходило укрепление этих отношений, ставшее особенно заметным после саммита Россия – Африка (2019). Помимо роста торговли и расширения военно-технического сотрудничества, новым значимым фактором российского присутствия в Африке стало развертывание активности частных военных компаний (например, «Группы Вагнера»). В условиях СВО взаимодействие с государствами Африки в сферах торговли и экономики пройдет через этап болезненной трансформации, вызванной санкционным давлением Запада. Ключевой проблемой при этом становится обеспечение продовольственной безопасности и предотвращение голода во многих странах Глобального Юга. Модальности российского присутствия на африканском континенте неизбежно будут определяться общей конфронтацией между Россией и странами Запада. В более отдаленной перспективе страны Африки могут стать бенефициарами трансформации американоцентричного мирового порядка, сильным фактором ускорения которой стала СВО.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article analyzes the changes in Russia’s relations with African countries caused by the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine. From the mid2010s until the beginning of the SMO, these relations were strengthened, which became especially noticeable after the Russia-Africa summit (2019). In addition to the growth of trade and the expansion of military-technical cooperation, a new significant factor in the Russian presence in Africa was the deployment of the activity of private military companies (the “Wagner Group”). In the context of the SMO, cooperation with African states in the areas of trade and economy will go through a stage of painful transformation caused by Western sanctions. A key issue is food security and famine prevention in many countries of the Global South. The modalities of the Russian presence on the African continent will inevitably be determined by the general confrontation between Russia and the countries of the West. In the longer term, African countries may become the beneficiaries of the transformation of the US-centric world order, sufficiently accelerated by the SMO.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>Глобальный Юг</kwd><kwd>специальная военная операция</kwd><kwd>трансформация мирового порядка</kwd><kwd>торгово-экономические отношения России со странами Африки</kwd><kwd>продовольственная безопасность</kwd><kwd>частные военные компании</kwd><kwd>информационное влияние</kwd><kwd>военно-техническое сотрудничество</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>global South</kwd><kwd>special military operation</kwd><kwd>transformation of the world order</kwd><kwd>trade and economic relations</kwd><kwd>food security</kwd><kwd>private military companies</kwd><kwd>information influence</kwd><kwd>military-technical cooperation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Абрамова И., Фитуни Л.
