Indonesia and Russia have enjoyed a long-standing diplomatic relationship. Russia, formerly known as the Soviet Union, was among the first nations to acknowledge the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. The Soviet Union's delegation at the United Nations in 1946 actively supported Indonesia, further solidifying the bond between the two countries. Diplomatic relations were formally established in 1950 when the Soviet Union's Foreign Minister, A. Vyshinsky, sent a telegram to Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Moch. Hatta, recognizing Indonesia's independence and sovereignty and expressing a desire to establish diplomatic ties. The Indonesian government welcomed this initiative and dispatched a delegation to Moscow. On May 16, 1950, both governments agreed to open mutual embassies.
The enduring relationship between Indonesia and Russia has fostered numerous collaborations across various sectors, continuing to this day. Marking 74 years of diplomatic ties, the close bond between the two nations is evident in the numerous state visits exchanged by their leaders since the 1950s. The close relations between the two nations are evident in the Soviet Union Government's handover of the Ilyushin IL-14 Avia aircraft to Indonesia and its contribution to the construction of the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium and the Persahabatan Hospital.
This exhibition, a highlight of the International Seminar “Indonesia-Rusia: From the Past to the Future, Historical and Geopolitical Perspectives”, features a curated selection of archival collections that chronicle the rich history of the Indonesia-Russia relationship.
