Source-derived summary

The Embassy of Egypt in Moscow (Russian: Посольство Арабской Республики Египет в Москве; Arabic: سفارة جمهورية مصر العربية في موسكو) is the diplomatic mission of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the Russian Federation.

The current Egyptian ambassador to Russia is Nazih El-Nagary.

History

Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union (USSR) and the Kingdom of Egypt were established on August 26, 1943. The first Egyptian ambassador to the USSR was Kamil Abdul Rahim. In the 1950s and 1960s, Egypt was the USSR's most important partner in the Middle East. However, in the early 1970s, President Anwar Sadat significantly changed Egypt's political course and relations between the USSR and Egypt cooled. In the mid-1980s, under Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, relations improved again. On December 26, 1991, Egypt declared its recognition of the Russian Federation as the successor to the former USSR. In 2009, a strategic partnership agreement was signed.

The embassy is housed at the former Girshman Manor, built in 1897 and designed by architect Semen Eibushitz.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Embassy of Egypt, Moscow” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Embassy, Egypt and Moscow provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1770850. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1943, 1991, 2009 and 1897.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
