history
In 1703 Peter I founded Saint Petersburg , which was the capital of the Russian Empire from 1710 to 1918. Until 1880 the Austrian embassy was located there at 102 Fontanka River Embankment , (Английская набережная, Englisches Quai)
On August 6, 1914 declared Franz Joseph I. Tsar Nicholas II. The war and Denmark was protecting power in Russia.
At the beginning of July 1918, Consul General Georg de Pottere (1875–1951) “was sent to Moscow to settle the questions of the resumption of the Russian public debt service left open in the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty .” The negotiations ended in the last days of July. On July 11, 1918, the Moscow government gave Otto von Franz the agreement, after which he was appointed envoy in Moscow on August 6, 1918. Neither Georg de Pottere nor Otto von Franz took office before November 9, 1918.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990/91, the ambassador was responsible for most of the successor states , and these agendas were successively replaced by new embassies.
