Ambassadors
Relations between Russia and Korea dates back to 1896, when Min Yŏnghwan was appointed as the special minister to the Russian Empire in Saint Petersburg. Russo-Korean relations ceased in 1905 after Korea was effectively annexed and became a protectorate to the Empire of Japan under the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1905.
In 1990, along with the concept of Nordpolitik, South Korea and the Soviet Union decided to re-establish diplomatic ties.
Since 1990, South Korea decided to install an embassy in Moscow, followed with different consulate generals in Vladivostok, Saint Petersburg, and Irkutsk.
The first ambassador to Russia was Gong Ro-Myung. The position of Republic of Korea Ambassador to Russia is currently appointed to Lee Seok-bae, who held the same position during the Moon Jae-in administration.
