History

In 1948–1964, the representative office was located in Percy R. Pyne House from 1911 (designed by McKim, Mead & White) at 680, Park Avenue, previously occupied by the Chinese representation to the United Nations (1947-1948). In 1960, Nikita Khrushchev spoke from the balcony of the building (mainly for press representatives). From 1964, it is housed in a 13-story building from 1961 at 136, East 67 Street. As a sub-tenant, the building also has a Permanent Representation of Belarus. The representative office also includes a residential estate with a 20-storey building from 1974 in Riverdale at 355 West 255th Street (along with 240 apartments, a high school, a polyclinic, a sports hall, a swimming pool, a duty-free shop, a showroom and a ballroom, an underground garage for 100 cars), two properties on Long Island, the 38 room Elmcroft estate from 1918 in Oyster Bay purchased in 1952 by the Russians, and the 49 room Tudor-style Killenworth from 1912 (designed by Trowbridge and Ackerman) purchased in 1951 on Dosoris Lane in Glen Cove. The first served as the residence of Vyacheslav Molotov, while the second served as Nikita Khrushchev (in 1960 and 1963), as well as Fidel Castro.
