The Relations between Peru and the Russian Empire through diplomatic archives (1860-1917)

Abstract

Although the establishment of diplomatic relations —at the Embassies’ level— took place in 1969, the Russo-Peruvian bilateral relations went back approximately a century ago. Reluctant to recognize, in the beginning, the independence of the countries of the former Spanish America, the Russian Empire underwent, during the reign of Tsar Alexander II, a change in its foreign policy with respect to the young South American nations.
