History of diplomatic relations edit
Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and what was then known as Burma were first established on 28 February 1948, with an agreement to exchange ambassadors.[1] The first Soviet ambassador, Aleksandr Saveliyev, was appointed on 4 October 1950, and presented his credentials on 21 May 1951.[1] Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the incumbent Soviet ambassador, Vadim Shabalin, continued as representative of the Russian Federation until 1992.[1]
