Russia disposes of one of the largest networks of foreign diplomatic missions, with Russian embassies and consulates operating in virtually every country of the world.
The Russian Embassy in Iran, a palace in the Atabek Park in Tehran, has served the interests of the Russian state since 1915. On November 28 through December 1, 1943, it hosted the conference of the heads of the three Allied powers of the anti-Hitler coalition with the participation of the leaders of the countries: J. Stalin, F. Roosevelt and W. Churchill.
The residence of the Russian Ambassador to Italy, Villa Abamelek, located close to the ancient Aurelian Road in Rome, was built in the 17th century. The building has been the official residence of the Russian Ambassador to Italy since 1947.
The Russian Embassy in Mexico is a building constructed in 1911 in place of the historic 17th century Hacienda Santa Catarina del Arenal; it is located on Avenida José Vasconcelos in Mexico City. Since 1942, the mansion has served the interests of the Russian state.
