[4] Only after the coup that deposed Fernando Belaúnde and allowed Juan Velasco Alvarado to establish his so-called revolutionary government were relations reestablished at an embassy level in 1969, alongside other socialist countries.

[5][3][6] With relations reestablished, the Soviet government bought a manor in Orrantia Del Mar, a borough of the upper-class San Isidro district that originally belonged to Anita Fernandini de Naranjo and would eventually become the embassy in 1970.

[7][8][9] In 1975, after Alvarado announced the Plan Inca, a rationing plan in line with the government's attempts at implementing socialist policies, a unique type of protests took place outside of the embassy, as several cars with covered license plates drove by the building, with their occupants hurling rocks at the embassy and driving away.

Because Soviet–Peruvian relations had strengthened after Mikhail Gorbachev's rise to power, guerrillas such as the Shining Path attacked the embassy several times due to the former's support of the latter against the group.

[8][9] In February 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, protests were held in front of the embassy by both locals and Ukrainian residents in Lima.
