Two periods of Sierra Leone’s foreign policy are considered: during the Westminster bipartisan model from 1961 to 1970, and when the authoritarian regime led by President Siaka Stevens was established from 1971 to 1985. The central issue of the research is analysis of Sierra Leone’s cooperation with the Soviet Union. The aim of the research is to identify the factors that guided the non-aligned countries within the bipolar confrontation of the second half of the 20th century in building their relations with the socialist bloc. The relevance of the topic is related to the fact that the logic and principles of building relations of small non-aligned countries with both limited power resources and little political and economic ambitions with key world powers are less reflected in studies. The research is based upon comparative and historical-genetic methods as well as case studies. The author makes use of materials from the Sierra Leone Public Archives. The author concludes that Sierra Leone’s relations with the Second World were based on economic pragmatism rather than ideological or political proximity. For Sierra Leone, relations with socialist countries served as a tool for diversifying its foreign policy. This set Sierra Leone apart from its neighboring West African states, which either maintained an orientation towards first-world countries, namely France and the US, or reoriented themselves towards the Soviet Union.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Раскрывается проблематика отношений африканских стран с государствами «второго мира» через призму внешнеполитической деятельности Сьерра-Леоне. Рассматриваются два периода внешней политики Сьерра-Леоне - в годы существования Вестминстерской двухпартийной модели в 1961-1970 гг. и в 1971-1985 гг., когда в стране установился авторитарный режим во главе с президентом Сиакой Стивенсом. Центральное место занимает анализ сотрудничества Сьерра-Леоне и Советского Союза. Цель - определить, чем руководствовались страны, избравшие путь неприсоединения в рамках биполярного противостояния второй половины XX в., выстраивании своих отношений с социалистическим блоком. Актуальность темы связана с тем, что логика и принципы выстраивания отношения с ключевыми мировыми державами малых неприсоединившихся стран, обладающих как небольшими силовыми ресурсными возможностями, так и ограниченными политическими и экономическими амбициями, в меньшей степени отражены в научных работах. Исследование опирается на компаративистский и историко-генетический методы, а также на метод кейс-стади. Также используются материалы Государственного архива Сьерра-Леоне. Автор приходит к выводу, что отношения Сьерра-Леоне и стран «второго мира» основывались скорее на экономическом прагматизме, нежели чем на основе идеологической или политической близости. Для Сьерра-Леоне отношения с социалистическими странами выступали инструментом диверсификации внешнеполитической деятельности. Это выделяло Сьерра-Леоне на фоне соседних государств Западной Африки, которые либо сохраняли ориентацию на страны «первого мира», а именно Францию и США, либо же переориентировались на Советский Союз.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Cold War</kwd><kwd>Second World</kwd><kwd>Third World</kwd><kwd>West Africa</kwd><kwd>Sierra Leone</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>холодная война</kwd><kwd>второй мир</kwd><kwd>третий мир</kwd><kwd>Западная Африка</kwd><kwd>Сьерра-Леоне</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена в рамках Консорциума ИВИ РАН и МГИМО МИД России «Глобальная история: региональные и национальные составляющие».</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Article prepared within the framework of the Consortium of the Institute of World History (RAS) and MGIMO University “Global History: Regional and National Components”.</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Adamolekun, L.
