    Since 1963? That cannot be true. Russia’s not been involved with Africa that long.

      I meant recent/ongoing, as I imagine the OP did in their caption, but I see how the confusion arose reading the comment in isolation.

      That said, the Soviet Union did do their fair share of meddling in post-colonial Africa so it wouldn’t shock me, but I can’t remember which countries they were involved in off the top of my head so I couldn’t say yes or no with any real confidence

        It’s not enough fir them to take the crown from France. I disagree with 22 since 1963 but they have killed more than Russia/The USSR did.
