History

Park Towers South, the building housing the Russian Consulate-General

In October 2001 the U.S. and Russia formally agreed to establish a Houston consulate. The Russian government approved the establishment on February 12, 2003. On May 9 of that year the United States Department of State confirmed the appointment of the consul general. The facility opened on August 4, 2004.[1]

Russia opened a consulate in Houston due to the proximity to aerospace and petroleum industries. In a 2004 Houston Chronicle article Nikolai V. Sofinskiy, the first consul general, stated that the Houston area had around 40,000 Russian speakers and that Houston's consulate could easily serve the southeastern United States.[2][3]
