Russian economy <strong>and</strong> the specifics <strong>of</strong> the current type <strong>of</strong> development<br />
<strong>of</strong> the global economic model make it both easier <strong>and</strong> more<br />
natural for Moscow to explore less competitive international markets,<br />
like <strong>Africa</strong>n ones. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, the West would be less<br />
inclined to wage fierce battles for the peripheral markets than for<br />
European or rapidly growing Asian ones.<br />
Despite all the difficulties major Russian corporations manage to<br />
establish alliances with western capital <strong>and</strong> in some cases Russian<br />
capital enters <strong>Africa</strong>n markets under American or European colors.<br />
Finally, a whole new page <strong>of</strong> interaction between <strong>Africa</strong>n <strong>and</strong><br />
Russian capital may begin after the Republic <strong>of</strong> South <strong>Africa</strong> has<br />
become a member <strong>of</strong> the BRICS club. Joint strategies in mutually<br />
attractive areas are likely to produce breakthrough results in the<br />
sphere <strong>of</strong> technological innovations, including the mining sector.<br />
