In approximately 2008 or 2009, Manafort worked on a project for Deripaska in Guinea where Deripaska had a large interest in bauxite mining and alumina refinery facilities. Boyarkin managed the project for Deripaska. Gates recalled meeting with Boyarkin, Kilimnik, and Manafort about the project.988 Boyarkin had intelligence regarding politicians in Guinea and contacts within the Guinean government. Deripaska's strategy was to use American campaign techniques in Guinea to get the person he supported elected president.990 Gates recalled that after working on the project for several months, the presidential candidate Manafort's firm was supporting was shot. After the shooting, Boyarkin moved· a Russian military ship to Guinea as a show of force to anyone who was trying to impede Deripaska. Gates believed the work in Guinea ended shortly thereafter, work for which Manafort's firm was paid over $1 million.
Alpha Conde of Guinea had a favor to ask Vladimir Putin when the two presidents met at the inaugural Russia-Africa summit in the Black Sea resort of Sochi in October. “I would like, if possible, to spend most of our meeting in a one-in-one format because I have things to say to you that are not worth discussing in such a large group,” the 81-year-old West African leader said. “My pleasure,” Putin, 67, replied as aides began to herd the several dozen officials and reporters in attendance out of the room, leaving him and Conde alone with their respective translators. While neither side has revealed exactly what was said, Conde has made no secret of his interest in finding a way to stay in power after his second - and legally last - term ends next October. This week, he unveiled a proposed new constitution that could allow him to extend his rule. Both the U.S. and France, Guinea’s former colonial ruler, are urging Conde to avoid risking civil unrest by changing the landmark constitution that allowed the former academic and long-time opposition leader to become the country’s first democratically elected head of state in 2010. Russia, on the other hand, is throwing its weight behind Conde’s undeclared campaign. That makes Guinea, holder of the world’s largest deposits of bauxite, a key raw material for making aluminum, the latest focus in a renewed tug-of-war among global powers for influence and profit across resource-rich Africa. The U.S., western Europe and China have advantages over Russia in other areas of the continent. But in Guinea, the Kremlin is leveraging a mix of old Soviet ties, new capitalist might in the form of aluminum giant United Co. Rusal and Putin’s popularity among other leaders. Putin is widely viewed as a kind of “guru” in Africa, Viktor Boyarkin, a former diplomat and ex-Rusal security chief who’s known Conde for a decade, said in an interview in Moscow. “People come to him for advice.” https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/africa/how-putin-got-a-new-best-friend-forever-in-africa/ar-BBYemES
