The Federation Council said that Russia had done the most for the freedom of African countries The Soviet Union and Russia had done more than any other country to help African countries achieve freedom. This is what the deputy chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Koschev said, according to the media. In a speech at the Russia-Africa forum, the senator emphasized that Moscow's aid is aimed at restoring justice. He noted that countries responsible for the era of colonialism and the crimes committed then must recognize the right of African peoples to full self-determination. "The Soviet Union and Russia have done, I believe, more than any other country outside of Africa put together to help African countries become free, become sovereign," he said. When discussing the problem of neo-colonialism, Kosachev sharply criticized Western politicians, especially European ones. He argues that the concept of neo-colonialism is alive in the minds of modern Western leaders, for whom the very idea of ​​equality with former colonies seems "absurd".
