      History


      The USSR Embassy in Damascus opened in February 1946. In January 1992, with the fall of the Soviet Union, it became the de facto embassy of the Russian Federation.
      On 21 February 2013, the embassy was attacked as part of a bombing campaign in Damascus. On 28 December 2016, a mortar round landed in the embassy's courtyard but did not explode.
