Abstract
The article examines the evolution of the darknet ecosystem and its impact on international information security in Africa. It analyzes key threats emanating from the darknet, including illegal trade, cybercrime, and the spread of disinformation. Specific challenges faced by African countries in the realm of cybersecurity are highlighted, such as lack of resources and low levels of awareness. Possible strategies for enhancing resilience and effectiveness in combating cyber threats in the region are also discussed, including international cooperation and the development of Russian-African initiatives in information security area.
