Croatia–Russia relations ((ロシア語:Российско-хорватские отношения), (クロアチア語:Rusko-hrvatski odnosi)) refer to bilateral foreign relations between Croatia and Russia. Both countries established diplomatic relations on May 25, 1992. Croatia has an embassy in Moscow and an honorary consulate in Kaliningrad. Russia has an embassy in Zagreb. Though geographically not very close, Croatia and Russia are both Slavic countries and thus share certain cultural and linguistic similarities. Both countries are full members of the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Russian tourists regularly visit Croatia on summer holidays, while Croatian tourists often visit Russia on city trips. In addition, many Russians have purchased real estate along Croatia's Adriatic coast. ==History== Cultural ties between Russia and Croatia date back far in history. With the development of inter-state communication the number and areas of the Russian-Croatian communication expanded. During the reign of the Russian Emperor Peter the Great (1682-1725) Russian aristocrat Pyotr Andreyevich Tolstoy visited Zadar and Dubrovnik to study seamanship.〔http://www.zagreb.mid.ru/cro/rus_hrv3.html〕 Croatian Dominican priest Benjamin was the editor of the first translation of the Bible into old-slavic (Russian) language in 1499. Croatian Catholic missionary Juraj Križanić wanted Russia to reorganize into, in terms of enlightened absolutism, organized and powerful state which would become a counterbalance to Germany which was considered to be the main and most dangerous enemy of all Slavs. Croatian violinist Ivan Mane Jarnović has been the first violinist in the orchestra of the Russian Empress Catherine the Great for three years. Russian philosopher and poet Vladimir Solovyov was very close to the Croatian intellectuals Josip Juraj Strossmayer and Franjo Rački. He spent two months in Croatian capital Zagreb where his book was published in Dionička tiskara. Solovyov loved all Slavs, particularly Poles and Croats. He had a desire to unite all Slavs into one Catholic Church, because some Slavs are Roman, while others are Orthodox Catholics. Soloviev well known cultural and political situation of the Croats. He translated into Russian several verses of song Moja lađa (My boat) written by Petar Preradović.〔Jean Rupp, Message eccléisal de Solowiew, Lethielleux, Paris, Vie avec Dieu, Bruxelles 1974, str. 71〕 Lot of famous Croats traveled to Russia and later published their memories in many itineraries. Among them are: Vatroslav Jagić-"Spomeni mojega života (Rusiji )" (Memories of my life (Russia )), Alberto Ognjen Štriga-"Moj put u Rusiju" (My trip to Russia), Stjepan Radić-"Moj put u slavenski svijet" (My trip to the Slavic world), Franjo Rački-"Putne uspomene" (Travel memories), Milan Šenoa, August Cesarec and Miroslav Krleža. Prominent Croatian scholar of Slavic studies Vatroslav Jagić corresponded with 37 Russian and Ukrainian scientists, academics and social workers. These letters are kept in the archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He left such a strong impact on Russians that they consider him to be their linguist. He was signing himself as ''Ignatius Vikentijević Jagić'' (Russian- Игнатий Викентьевич Ягич). The first monument in the world made in honor of famous russian novelist Leo Tolstoy was created in masters workshop in Selca in 1911.〔http://www.croatia.org/crown/articles/9573/1/Croatia---Russia-historical-and-cultural-relations.html〕 The richest and most important collection of Croatian Glagolitic documents and books outside of Croatia is located in Saint Petersburg.
