Russia has had outbreaks of Classical swine flu also...  while they sound similat there is a difference...

African Swine Fever is clinically, and on post mortem, very similar to Hog Cholera, which in parts of Europe is referred to as "Swine Fever" or "Classical Swine Fever". Laboratory tests, such as direct flourescent antibody on suspected tissues, are required to differentiate the two diseases.

African swine fever ( in African swine fever (animal disease) ) 
The virus responsible for African swine fever is classified as an iridovirus. It is physically, chemically, and antigenically distinct from the togavirus that causes hog cholera (swine fever). African swine fever virus can survive heat, putrefaction, smoking, partial cooking, and dryness and lives up to six months in chilled carcasses.
