Russia’s strategy to exert influence in Africa has been underway for two years, though it's so far largely consisted of more covert, bilateral activities. But that's slated to change come Oct. 22, when Moscow hosts its first-ever pan-African summit in the city of Sochi. The inaugural meeting will provide a platform for Russia to present a more positive view of its intentions in Africa, where it can act as an enabler in economic and political affairs.

Probably. ... but Russia itself is resource rich but with comparatively low industrial (aside military equipment) output.
