Map of diplomatic missions in Russia

Imagine countries talking to each other, like friends sharing ideas! That's what diplomacy is all about. A diplomatic mission is like a special office that one country sets up in another country. These offices help countries work together, solve problems, and build friendships.

Russia is the largest country in the world and plays a big role on the global stage. It's also a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, which is a very important group that works for world peace. Because Russia is so important, many countries have set up their diplomatic offices there.

The main city for these offices is Moscow, the capital of Russia. Moscow is home to 147 embassies, and many other cities in Russia also have smaller offices called consulates.
