Russia Embassy
|
|
From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia This is a list
of diplomatic missions of Russia. These missions are subordinate to
the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Russian Federation has one of
the largest networks of embassies and consulates of any country. Russia has
significant interests in Eastern Europe, the Near East and especially in the
former states of the Soviet Union. It also has extensive ties to countries
in the developing world, a legacy of Cold War diplomatic efforts to extend
its influence in Asia and Africa which are now more important for commercial
reasons.

Russia established several consulates in the
United States and Canada to cater to Russian immigrants. In 1917, the
Tsarist government vanished. Consuls in seven U.S. cities and three Canadian
cities maintained tsarist loyalties and received financing from the U.S.
government. The consuls stopped their services in the late 1920s; the U.S.
government seized the records of the consulates. The seizure started a long
dispute. The National Archives and Records Administration received the
documents in 1949. In 1980 the U.S. government loaned the documents of the
Canadian consulates to the Library and Archives Canada. On 31 January 1990
the U.S. returned the documents to the Soviet Union and kept the microfilms
as evidence.[1]
After 1992, due to financial reasons, embassies in Maseru (Lesotho), Niamey
(Niger), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), and Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea)
were closed.
After Georgia and Russia severed diplomatic relations in 2008, the Swiss
Embassy in Georgia offered to represent Russia in Georgia. |
