Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Zimbabwe were established on 18 February 1981.[4] The first ambassador, Georgy Ter-Gazaryants, was appointed on 4 July 1981.[5] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Zimbabwe recognised the Russian Federation as its successor state, and the incumbent Soviet ambassador, Yuri Yukalov, continued as the Russian ambassador until 1996.[5] Relations between the Russian Federation and Malawi were established on 2 November 1993, and the Russian ambassador to Zimbabwe was dually accredited to Malawi from 30 November 1994, a practice that has since continued.[3]
