With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova were first established on 6 April 1992, with the first Russian ambassador to Moldova, Vladimir Plechko  [ ru ], having been appointed on 18 March 1992. [3] In 2012, a consulate was opened in Tiraspol, de facto capital of the separatist region of Transnistria, despite the objections of the Moldovan government. [4]
