History of diplomatic relations
Relations between the Soviet Union and the Dominican Republic were first established on 8 March 1945. It was not until March 1991, that the two countries agreed to exchange ambassadors, with the incumbent ambassador to Venezuela given dual accreditation to the Dominican Republic.[3] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Dominican Republic recognized the Russian Federation as its successor state on 15 May 1992. The incumbent Soviet ambassador, Vladimir Goncharenko, continued as the Russian ambassador until 1992. The practice of the ambassador to Venezuela having dual accreditation to the Dominican Republic came to an end with the appointment of Aleksey Seredin on 11 March 2025, as the first ambassador solely accredited to the Dominican Republic.[3]
