This article analyses the reasons behind
the restoration of diplomatic relations
between Russia and Germany after
World War I, as well as the fundamental
differences in the performance of Russian
imperial and Soviet consular missions
in East Prussia. On the basis of the
earlier unknown documents from the
Central Russian archives and the Political
archive of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Germany, the author describes
the establishment of the Soviet Consulate
in Königsberg in 1923 and the contribution
of the first Consul of the USSR in
East Prussia, Yulian Boshkovich, to the
development of bilateral relations in
1923-1925. The author considers the
adverse political conditions under which
Soviet diplomats were compelled to operate

the principal line of Yu. S. Boshkovich’s
activity concerned preparations for the
opening of the USSR trade mission in
Königsberg, as well as ensuring strong
representation of Soviet foreign trade
associations at the Eastern Fair.... view less
