Modern institution responsible for the conduct of Russian public diplomacy is officially called a successor of all previous institutions operating in this field since 1925. The evolution of these institutions reflects major political changes that have been occurring through Soviet and Russian history, which proves the fact that Soviet/Russian public diplomacy has always been inseparable from the general foreign policy strategy of the state. In addition, despite profound differences between the last and the first “stages of evolution”, there is still a strong pattern of continuity.
