A Socialist Way of War? Soviet Military Aid and the ANC’s Armed Struggle
In this talk, Prof. Thula Simpson examines the strategic and operational impact of Soviet bloc military assistance on the African National Congress (ANC). Drawing on new archival research, it explores how Eastern European training and support shaped the development of
Umkhonto we Sizwe
(MK), transforming it from a nascent guerrilla movement into one of Africa’s longest-running insurgencies. It also reflects on the broader legacies of these socialist military connections for contemporary South African politics.
