Russia–Uruguay relations are the bilateral foreign relations between Russia and Uruguay.

History[edit]

Diplomatic relations between Russia and Uruguay were established in 1857, at the initiative of the Uruguayan president Gabriel Antonio Pereira who sent a letter to Tsar Alexander II, proposing closer ties between both countries.[1] Thus, Uruguay was the first Latin American republic and the second Latin American state, after the Empire of Brazil, to be recognized by the Russian Empire.[2] In 1866 a Russian consulate was established in Montevideo, and two years later, a Uruguayan consulate was established in Taganrog.[3]

After the October Revolution of 1917, diplomatic relations were interrupted, but were reestablished in 1926.[2] In 1935, during the dictatorship of Gabriel Terra, Uruguay broke relations with the Soviet Union, but they were reestablished again in 1943, during World War II.[4]
