Feliks Fedotov was the first ambassador, assigned to the post on 24 September 1986, and serving until 11 September 1990.[2] His successor, Konstantin Kharchev, was the sitting ambassador during the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, and continued as representative of the Russian Federation until 15 August 1992.[2]
