Abstract. The paper aims to analyse the everyday life of Soviet doctors in Angola during the Civil War, using military memoirs. The paper is novel in that it studies the specific features of Soviet doctors’ life and functions in the setting of the traditional African society. As a result of the research, the author has been able to ascertain that the African reality - i.e. environmental conditions, peculiarities of local culture and rituals, the state of the Angolan health care system and medical services in the 1970s and 1980s, the generally indifferent attitude of local residents towards Soviet specialists - greatly complicated the work of Soviet doctors, expanded the range of their responsibilities, required the search for non-typical ways of addressing issues.
