In Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, russia organized a screening of the propaganda film \u201cBlockade Diary\u201d, dedicated to the \u201cheroism of leningrad.\u201d The event took place at a russian cultural center \u2014 the partner \u201crussian house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f A notable detail: publicly released photos from the screening show an audience composed exclusively of young men. This audience is not accidental. Young men are the primary target group for recruitment into the russian armed forces.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Through such films, russia seeks to cultivate a romanticized perception among young Africans of a \u201cbrave russian army\u201d allegedly fighting evil and the \u201ccollective West.\u201d This creates an emotional foundation for subsequent recruitment.<\/p>\n
\u201crussian houses\u201d and affiliated structures have repeatedly appeared in investigations related to the recruitment of foreigners into the russian army. Under the guise of cultural diplomacy, they disseminate propaganda, establish contacts, and test the loyalty of potential recruits.<\/p>\n
