History of diplomatic relations
Formal diplomatic relations between Kuwait and the Soviet Union were established on 11 March 1963.[3][4] The first ambassador, Mikhail Cherkasov, was appointed on 27 June 1963.[4] Exchange of ambassadors continued throughout the rest of the existence of the Soviet Union. The Soviet embassy in Kuwait was evacuated for a time following the August 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi forces, though diplomatic relations continued.[5] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kuwait recognised the Russian Federation as its successor state on 28 December 1991.[6]
