Their Russian's comrade did it!
Romanian-Russian relations are the foreign relations between Romania and Russia. Romania has an embassy in Moscow and 2 consulate-general (in Rostov-on-Don and Saint Petersburg). Russia has an embassy in Bucharest and a consulate-general in Constanţa. Historical relations have oscillated between grudging cooperation, neutrality and open hatred and hostility.
Both countries refused to recognize Kosovo's independence from Serbia and strongly supported it's territorial integrity (although, the Romanian stance on Kosovo has much less to do with Kosovo than it has to do with supporting Moldova's stance on Transnistria). About 30,000 Russians live in Romania, mainly in the Tulcea County (see Lipovans). About 5,308 Romanians live in Russia, mainly in the Russian Far East. Both countries are full members of the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
