This is a List of Ambassadors from Russia to South Korea. The Russian Empire established relations with the Joseon Dynasty in 1884.[1] However Korea was deprived of its right to conduct independent foreign policy by the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, while the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the eventual successor to the Russian Empire) did not formally recognise Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in exile. In 1948, three years after the end of Japanese rule in Korea, the USSR recognised only one government on the Korean peninsula—the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, commonly North Korea.[2] In September 1990, towards the end of its existence, the USSR established relations with the Republic of Korea (commonly known as South Korea).[3]

The current official title of this diplomat is "Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Korea."
