History of diplomatic relations

Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Madagascar were established on 29 September 1972.[3] Relations were initially handled through the Soviet embassy in Paris, with the Soviet ambassador to France dually accredited to what was then the Malagasy Republic, and from 1975, the Democratic Republic of Madagascar. The first ambassador, Pyotr Abrasimov, was appointed on 20 December 1972.[4] He was succeeded by Stepan Chervonenko as ambassador to France with concurrent accreditation to Madagascar in 1973. The embassy in Antananarivo was opened in 1974, and on 20 March 1974 Alexander Alexeyev was appointed as the first ambassador solely accredited to Madagascar.[4]

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Madagascar recognised the Russian Federation as its successor state. The incumbent Soviet ambassador, Yuri Sepelyov, continued as the Russian ambassador until April 1993.[4] He was succeeded by Yuri Merzlyakov, who in December 1993, was given concurrent accreditation as the ambassador to the Comoros. Prior to this, the ambassador to Seychelles had been concurrently accredited to the Comoros.[5]
