dc.description Vladimir Shubin is the Deputy Director of the Institute for African Studies in<br />the Russian Academy of Sciences and a former officer in the Soviet armed forces,<br />and subsequently, a member (eventually secretary) of the Soviet Afro-Asian<br />Solidarity Committee and desk officer (eventually head) of the African Section of<br />the Communist Party of the USSR. In the latter two capacities he became intensely<br />involved in supporting Southern African liberation movements on behalf of the<br />USSR.<br />In The Hot “Cold War”: The USSR in Southern Africa Shubin aims to ‘set the<br />record straight’ with regard to Moscow’s involvement in Southern Africa during the<br />Cold War, especially the role of the Soviet military, which he believes ‘is covered<br />inadequately or even distorted’ (p. xv). His work is divided into five parts dealing in<br />succession with the liberation struggles in Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe,<br />Namibia and South Africa during the period 1960 to 1990.
