The Embassy of Russia in Washington, D.C. ({{lang-ru|Посольство России в США}}) is the diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation to the United States. The chancery is located at 2650 Wisconsin Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C.[1][2]

Ambassador's Residence

{{main|Russian ambassador's residence in Washington, D.C.}}

The Russian ambassador's residence is located at 1125 16th Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. Built in 1910, this Beaux-Arts mansion served variously as the Russian or Soviet embassy during periods of established relations between 1913 and 1994.

New embassy compound on Wisconsin Avenue

The embassy of the Russian Federation is situated on "Mount Alto" on Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, built on property leased to the Soviet government for 85 years on the basis of an agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States, concluded in 1969. Under the 1972 agreement, equivalent territory in Moscow was to be leased to the United States for a new embassy on the same conditions. The second agreement also stated that both sides should start using their new buildings simultaneously.

The embassy was designed by well-known Soviet architect {{ill|Michael Posokhin|ru|Посохин, Михаил Васильевич}}, who designed the State Kremlin Palace and a number of other buildings in Moscow. The residential building, the school, the kindergarten and sports grounds were all complete in 1979. Administrative and ceremonial buildings were finished in 1985.

In the late 1980s, the FBI and the National Security Agency built a tunnel under the compound for espionage purposes,[3] but it was never successfully exploited due to FBI agent Robert Hanssen disclosing information about the operation to the KGB.[4][5]

In September 1994, during his visit to the United States, Russian President Boris Yeltsin and U.S. President Bill Clinton inaugurated the new ceremonial building of the Russian Embassy, at Mount Alto.

Events

In 1985, Vitaly Yurchenko redefected here, after eluding his handlers at the Au Pied de Cochon restaurant in Georgetown.[6][7][8]
