The Embassy of Russia in Beijing is the diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation to the People's Republic of China.[1] It is also the successor to the Soviet Embassy in Beijing.[2]

History

In 1861, the first permanent Russian diplomatic mission was established in Beijing.[3] The mission was located in Dongcheng District today,[1] and was one of the largest embassies in the world.[2] It was also only one of two embassies that is not located in Beijing's Embassy District, with the other being Luxembourg's embassy.

Besides the main embassy in Beijing, Russia also has 5 other consulates in China, located in Hong Kong, Shenyang, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Harbin.

The current ambassador is Igor Morgulov, and has been appointed at his post since September 2022.

Controversy

On July 2, 2020, the Russian Embassy posted a post on Weibo commemorating the 160th anniversary of the founding of Vladivostok, and specified the meaning of the city name as "conquering the East". However, the city was part of the territory ceded to Western nations in Qing China's Convention of Peking, and enraged Chinese netizens.[9] The embassy deleted the post the next day, and reposted the commemoration without the specificity about the city name.[10]
