History
Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union (USSR) and the Kingdom of Egypt were established on August 26, 1943. The first Egyptian ambassador to the USSR was Kamil Abdul Rahim. In the 1950s and 1960s, Egypt was the USSR's most important partner in the Middle East. However, in the early 1970s, President Anwar Sadat significantly changed Egypt's political course and relations between the USSR and Egypt cooled. In the mid-1980s, under Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, relations improved again. On December 26, 1991, Egypt declared its recognition of the Russian Federation as the successor to the former USSR. In 2009, a strategic partnership agreement was signed.
The embassy is housed at the former Girshman Manor, built in 1897 and designed by architect Semen Eibushitz.[3]
