🇷🇺 Diplomatic Worker's Day Today, February 10, Russia celebrates Diplomatic Worker's Day. 📜 This date has deep historical roots: it was on February 10, 1549, that the Posolsky Prikaz (Ambassadorial Office) — the institution that became the prototype of the modern Ministry of Foreign Affairs — was first mentioned in records. Ivan Viskovaty was its first appointed head. 🌐 Today’s diplomatic service is an extensive network of representations: more than 150 embassies and 80 consulates of Russia operate worldwide. We congratulate all those who represent the country’s interests on the international stage. In the face of sanctions and crises, diplomats bear a special responsibility: to conduct negotiations, defend positions, and seek solutions. This profession requires not only deep knowledge but also exceptional resilience. Thank you for your work!
