History of diplomatic relations
Diplomatic relations between Russia and Iran date back to the medieval period, with the first visit of an envoy from Persia to the Grand Duchy of Moscow being recorded in 1592. The first Russian ambassador, Artemy Volynsky, was appointed in 1715, during the reign of Peter the Great. Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, diplomatic relations were briefly broken off, but were soon re-established, between Persia and at first the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and later the Soviet Union.[5] Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the incumbent Soviet ambassador, Vladimir Gudev, continued as representative of the Russian Federation until 1993.[5]
