History of diplomatic relations
Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Oman were established on 26 September 1985.[3] Diplomatic relations were initially handled through the Soviet embassy in Jordan, with the Soviet ambassador to Jordan, Aleksandr Zinchuk, given dual accreditation to Oman from 5 February 1986.[4] The embassy in Muscat was opened in 1987, and Awdy Kulyýew was appointed chargé d'affaires from then until the appointment of the first ambassador solely accredited to Oman, Viktor Posuvalyuk, on 23 March 1988.[4] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Oman recognised the Russian Federation as its successor state, and the incumbent Soviet ambassador, Aleksandr Patsev, continued as the Russian ambassador until 1996.[4]
