On their basis, Soviet specialists participated in the creation of about 600 enterprises and other facilities in Africa, of which more than 300 were put into operation by the end of the 1980s. With the assistance of the USSR, about 500 thousand African specialists and skilled workers were trained.

After the collapse of the USSR and the reorientation of socialist African states towards cooperation with European countries and the United States, Russian-African ties practically did not develop for a long time. However, during this period relations with South Africa were normalized.
