The ambassador and his staff work at large in the Russian embassy in Luxembourg.

[1] The current Russian ambassador to Luxembourg is Dmitry Lobanov [ru], incumbent since 17 September 2020.

[2] Russian relations with Luxembourg date back into the nineteenth century, when as part of the Concert of Europe, the Russian Empire was one of the signatories to the Treaty of London in 1867, making it one of the guarantors of the borders of the Grand Duchy and its neutrality.

It was not until late 1960 that the mission was upgraded to the level of an embassy, with Pavel Gerasimov [ru] appointed as ambassador on 28 June 1961.

The incumbent ambassador of the Soviet Union to Luxembourg, Chinghiz Aitmatov, continued as representative of Russia until 1994.
