From 1697 to 1763, the Electorate of Saxony and the Kingdom of Poland were linked in a personal union, also known as Saxony-Poland . During this time the Russian envoys and authorized ministers partly moved into their residence in Dresden , while an accredited chargé d' affaires was employed in Warsaw . Often the ambassadors commuted between the two courts (see also list for Poland ). After the Seven Years War , the personal union was dissolved again.

The brothers Andrei (1735–1776) and Alexander Michailowitsch (1752–1809) from the house of Belosselski-Beloserski, who were sent to the Electoral Saxon court by Empress Catherine II in the second half of the 18th century, promoted the already rich cultural life of the Saxon capital. In 1874, the Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Simeon of the Wonderful Mountains was inaugurated on Reichsstrasse (today Fritz-Löffler-Strasse ) in the southern suburb of Dresden , based on plans by the German Baltic architect Harald Julius von Bosse for the Russian legation . In 1897 the Imperial Russian Legation Palace was completed in Lukasstraße (today the seat of the Evangelical Church Office in Dresden ). During the July crisis , the embassy was closed in 1914.

Heads of mission

Due to the interdependence of the Russian embassies with the Albertine and Ernestine houses, the corresponding states are listed here together.
