In the 1920s, Moscow became a ‘Red Mecca’ for African American and anti-colonial activists who journeyed to the Soviet Union in order to experience and participate in the socialist experiment. Although Moscow lost its appeal and status in the 1930s as many Black activists became disillusioned with the Comintern’s policy shifts, Nikita Khrushchev’s opening to the Third World in the 1950s signalled renewed Soviet interest in attracting Third World elites. The Soviets thus began granting scholarships to African university students, allocating placements for military and security training, and inviting African political and cultural figures to visit the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The activists of the African Lusophone movements—Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA–Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola), Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO–Frente de Libertação de Moçambique), and African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cabo Verde (PAIGC–Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde)—were no exception. From the 1960s onwards, Moscow became an important hub for activists of these movements, who came to the Soviet capital to forge contacts with the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), study at universities, or participate in military training. Based on first-hand interviews and new archival materials, this chapter investigates how these activists experienced Moscow as a ‘hub’ of revolutionary activity, often through visiting ritualised revolutionary sights like the Lenin mausoleum or the Museum of Revolution. It will also investigate some of the less formal spaces, such as the cultural centres where informal links between the Africans and their Soviet interlocutors were forged. The chapter aims to reconstruct Moscow as both a practical and an ‘imaginary space’ for activists and investigate how they shaped networks and ideas of liberation.
