History of diplomatic relations
Diplomatic relations between Paraguay and the Russian Empire were established in 1909, when the incumbent representative to Brazil, Mavriky Prozor, was given dual accreditation to Paraguay.[3] Representation continued through the early twentieth century, but was suspended after the October Revolution of 1917 brought the Bolshevik regime to power. Relations remained suspended for the entirety of the existence of the Soviet Union, and were only established on 14 May 1992, shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the emergence of the Russian Federation as its successor state. Relations were initially handled through the embassy in Argentina, with the ambassador to Argentina dually accredited to Paraguay, until December 2008, when the embassy in Asunción was opened and Igor Yezhov was appointed the first ambassador solely accredited to Paraguay.[3]
