Abstract

The Vietnam-Soviet Union (as of 1991 the Russian Federation) relationship is one of the most important diplomatic relation in the modern history of Vietnam. This relationship was established in January 1950 during the secret visit of President Ho Chi Minh to China and the Soviet Union. It was created in the middle of the fierce resistance against the French colonialist invasion, and the Vietnamese army and people were gaining important victories but other countries and international organizations had not recognized the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV). Research on the process of establishing diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the Soviet Union is an interesting historical content that will contribute to clarify the relationship of the two countries in the years later. Due to the lack of conditions to exploit material from Russia, this article approaches from the perspective of Vietnam.
