THE ESTABLISHING OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE US

Diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the United States of America were established on November 16, 1933. In the first sixteen years of the Soviet Government there were no official relation between the two countries. The Soviet Government proposed to normalize relations but Washington gave no reply to this initiative.

The general international situation in the early thirties and the progress of Russian-American economic contacts led to the normalization of relations between the two countries.

The establishment of diplomatic relations in 1933 was a farsighted measure, which finally predetermined the setting up of a military alliance of the two countries in 1941-1945 and future international cooperation.
