    History of diplomatic relations



    The formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and what was then the Republic of Upper Volta were established on 18 February 1967. The country was renamed Burkina Faso on 4 August 1984. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 the incumbent Soviet ambassador continued as representative of the Russian Federation until 1992, when the embassy in Ouagadougou was closed. With the closing of the embassy, relations were carried out through the Russian embassy in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, with the ambassador to Ivory Coast dually accredited to Burkina Faso.
