✍️Ambassador of Russia to South Africa Roman Ambarov:
During my visit to Cape Town, I had the honour of visiting the Cape Muslim and Slave Heritage Museum at the Castle of Good Hope. What I experienced there was deeply moving – a powerful reflection on the history and heritage of enslaved communities in South Africa, told through art and memory.
With a collection of over 1,000 paintings, artefacts, photographs, and relics, the museum plays a vital role in sharing this history.
Preserving the memory of slavery is not only about the past. It is about ensuring that such injustice is never forgotten and never repeated, especially at a time when neo-colonial practices are again making themselves felt.
This history resonates on a personal level. Our country has never been a colonial power and has never enslaved African people. On the contrary, we remember that the Soviet Union stood in solidarity with the people of South Africa in their struggle against apartheid, supporting their fight for freedom and dignity.
❗️ Just yesterday, on April 19, our country marked theDay of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People, committed by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Our nation knows the pain of such suffering, and this shared historical experience deepens our understanding of the hardships endured by the people of South Africa.
I am sincerely grateful to the museum’s team and guides for their dedication and care in preserving this tragic chapter of history and making it accessible to others.

Happy May 1st, Russian learners! ☀️
In Russia, we say:
• Мир! Труд! Май!
Peace! Labour! May!
But for you, let's change it a little:
• Май! Учёба! Русский!
May! Studying! Russian!
No work today. Just spring, rest, and one small verb conjugation. Maybe two. No pressure.
С праздником! ✨
