🇷🇺🇺🇸 On February 10, the Russian Embassy in the United States continued the series of commemorative and educational events dedicated to Diplomatic Worker's Day. Diplomats laid a wreath at the grave of A.Bodisco, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Russian Empire to the United States, at Oak Hill Cemetery in the historic district of the American capital.
🔹A.Bodisco served in the United States for 17 years for the benefit of our Fatherland (1837-1854). This peculiar record was surpassed only by A.Dobrynin, who headed the Soviet diplomatic mission in Washington for 24 years.
🔹Alexander Bodisco managed to facilitate the relations between the Russian Empire and America. It is indicative in this regard that on the day of his death, both houses of Congress suspended their work for one day as a sign of respect. And the funeral ceremony was attended by President F. Pierce. In the family grave rests also the son of the Russian envoy V.Bodisco, who worked as Consul General of Russia in New York from 1870 to 1878.
🔹Russian diplomacy carefully preserves and multiplies the glorious traditions laid down by outstanding predecessors. The continuity of generations of foreign policy service allows our country to play an active role in international processes, to build a constructive and mutually respectful dialog with foreign partners. Thereby defending the national interests and contributing to the internal development of the State.
🔹Employees of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the United States have revisited the history of Russian and foreign diplomacy and milestones in Russian-American relations.
