editDiplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Jordan were established on 20 August 1963. Pyotr Slyusarenko was appointed ambassador on 30 January 1964.[3] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the government of Jordan recognized the Russian Federation as its successor. The Soviet ambassador, Yuri Gryadunov, continued as representative of the Russian Federation until 1992.[3]
