俄罗斯正加大力度吸引非洲学生，计划在2025年为其提供超过5000个国家资助的大学名额1。这一举措反映了莫斯科通过教育合作加强与非洲联系的战略意图。根据最新数据，2025年针对俄罗斯大学的申请人数超过40000人，较2024年增长了一倍1。其中，申请人数最多的国家包括苏丹、几内亚、加纳和乍得1。
为了进一步巩固在非洲的教育影响力，俄罗斯宣布将在埃及、赞比亚、坦桑尼亚、南非和埃塞俄比亚建立新的俄罗斯文化中心1。从经济角度看，俄罗斯高等教育对非洲学生具有成本优势。医学及其他专业领域的年学费为2000至10000美元，远低于欧美20000至40000美元的收费标准1。
俄罗斯的这一扩招举措出现在西方教育外交面临收缩的背景下。美国曾在6月暂停向多个非洲国家发放包括学生签证在内的各类签证1，并撤销了6000多份学生签证1。中非共和国当局为大学生引入了强制性俄语课程1。
Russia is intensifying efforts to recruit African students through a combination of financial incentives and cultural initiatives. The country allocated over 5,000 state-funded university scholarships for African students in 2025, with applications exceeding 40,000—double the number from 20241. Sudan, Guinea, Ghana, and Chad led in application numbers1.
The scholarship program forms part of Russia's broader soft power strategy in the continent. To complement the education initiative, Russia announced the establishment of new Russian cultural centers in Egypt, Zambia, Tanzania, South Africa, and Ethiopia1. Medical and other professional degree programs at Russian universities cost between $2,000 and $10,000 annually, substantially cheaper than Western alternatives ranging from $20,000 to $40,0001.
The recruitment campaign comes amid shifting dynamics in African access to international education. The United States suspended visa issuance, including student visas, to multiple African countries in June, and subsequently revoked over 6,000 student visas1. In the Central African Republic, authorities introduced mandatory Russian language courses for university students, reflecting the deepening educational ties1.
