This article discusses Union of South Africa (UAS) in the 1950s-1960s, in perspective of the double diplomacy that was formed in connection with the establishment of apartheid. On one hand, the diplomacy of the official foreign Ministry of the UAS, which was adapting to the international isolation that began to develop around it (in many ways controversial), primarily from the independent countries of Africa and the USSR. On the other hand, it was the diplomacy of the national liberation movements that fought against this regime, namely the ANC. On the basis of archival documents, it can be seen that in 1959, even before the world-wide shooting in Sharpeville (1960), in the USSR, a high-level proposal was made to support the ANC and oppose the government of the UAS in all diplomatic directions.References
