History of diplomatic relations
Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Nepal were established on 20 July 1956.[3] Diplomatic relations were initially handled through the Soviet mission in India, with the Soviet ambassador to India, Mikhail Menshikov, given dual accreditation to Nepal from 5 February 1957.[4] This practice continued until 27 June 1959, when a new envoy, Yevgeny Zabrodin was appointed solely accredited to Nepal.[4] The embassy in Kathmandu was opened on 4 October 1959, with the Nepalese embassy in Moscow opened on 27 June 1961.[3] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Nepal recognised the Russian Federation as its successor state on 27 December 1991, and the incumbent Soviet ambassador, Felix Strok, continued as the Russian ambassador until 1992.[3][4]
