[[File:Spaso_House_Exterior.JPG|thumb|left|The Ambassador resides in [[Spaso House]], the former mansion of [[Nikolay Vtorov]].]]
The United States first established diplomatic relations with the [[Russian Empire]] in 1780. Diplomatic relations were broken off in 1917 when the Bolsheviks [[Bolsheviks]]October Revolution|seized power]], and they were not reestablished until 1933. From 1933 to 1991, the United States recognized the [[Soviet Union]]. After the [[Dissolutioncollapse of the Soviet Union]] in 1991, the ambassador's title was changed to Ambassador to the Russian Federation, as [[Russia and the United Nations|Russia is the USSR's direct successor]].
