History of diplomatic relations
Diplomatic relations between Bolivia and Russia date back to the 19th century. On 9 August 1898 the Bolivian ambassador to Paris, Francisco de Argadonia, presented his credentials to Emperor Nicholas II and was thereafter accredited as Bolivia's envoy to Russia.[5]
Relations at the mission level between the Soviet Union and Bolivia were first established on 18 April 1945.[1][5] There was no formal exchange of ambassadors however until 1969, when embassies were opened in both capitals.[1][5] The first Soviet ambassador to Bolivia, Aleksey Shcherbachevich, was appointed on 26 March 1970.[1] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Soviet ambassador, Vladimir Kiselyov, continued as representative of the Russian Federation until 1995.[1]
