In this special episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor PLO Lumumba explores the sacrifice of the Soviet people for the salvation of the world from the horrors of Nazi domination. The Soviet Union put up a fight that presented a real challenge for the German war machine, forcing the Nazis to pull troops and tanks off the African front line. We look at how the Soviet victory paved the way for the end of colonial rule in Africa. The victory of the Soviets was not just a victory for the Russians; it was a victory and salvation for Africa as well.
