Embassy of the Russian Federation

Did Russia’s Tsar Nicholas II ever set foot on Singaporean soil? He did. In fact, his visit in 1891 foreshadowed the presence we stand before today, the Embassy of the Russian Federation. Located at 51 Nassim Road, this embassy represents a complex relationship spanning over a century. Russia’s connection with Singapore began even earlier than the Tsar’s visit. In 1890, Russia appointed its first consul to Singapore, A.M. Vyvodtsev, when Singapore was still part of the British Empire. The formal diplomatic relationship, however, blossomed much later. The Soviet Union and Singapore established full diplomatic ties on June 1, 1968. Fast forward to modern times, and the Embassy of the Russian Federation stands as a testament to this enduring connection. Currently, the ambassador is Andrey Alexeyevich Tatarinov. The embassy’s contact number is (+65) 623 51 832, and its fax number is (+65) 673 34 780. You can reach them via email at [email protected] or visit their website at http://www.singapore.mid.ru. While the relationship between Russia and Singapore has seen periods of cooperation and tension, the Embassy of the Russian Federation continues to play a crucial role in navigating this dynamic relationship. It’s a tangible link between two nations with distinct histories, striving to find common ground on the world stage.
