(Ambassador/USSR)

The Austrian Ambassador to the USSR.

Austria–Soviet Union relations were established in 1924,[1] discontinued in 1938 following German annexation of Austria and renewed following Austrian independence after World War II.[2]

In October 1943, at the Moscow Conference of Foreign Ministers of the USSR, the United States and Great Britain adopted the "Declaration on Austria", in which the "Anschluss of Austria" was recognized as "non-existent and invalid"[3], although attention was drawn to the fact that it was responsible for participating in World War II on the side of Nazi Germany[4].

After the fall of the Third Reich, Austria was divided into four zones of occupation: American, British, Soviet and French. Diplomatic relations with the USSR (at the level of the embassy) were again restored in October 1945. In 1955, the USSR, the USA, Great Britain and France signed the State Treaty on the restoration of an independent and democratic Austria. Austria, in turn, adopted a law on permanent neutrality on October 26, 1955.

In subsequent years, a number of major agreements were signed between the two countries: on trade and shipping (October 17, 1955), the Consular Treaty (February 28, 1959), on cultural and scientific cooperation (March 22, 1968), etc.
