Abstract
The history of Russia’s contacts with the Australian continent is centuries along. Seventy-five years since the first Australian embassy opened in Russia, on 26 January 1943, Moscow wants to strengthen dialogue with Canberra to build a regional architecture of equal and indivisible security based on a non-aligned approached. The bilateral relationship has been fraught with tensions especially in recent years due to Russian belligerence. Australia’s political allegiances to the west, the two nation’s geographic separation and Russia’s centralised, unstable economy have resulted in the relationship being viewed as unimportant in both Canberra and Moscow. while the Skripal incident may only continue the friction in the Australia-Russia relationship, it may be reflective of an emboldened Kremlin that poses direct risks to Australian interests. In this we study about history and background of Russia and Australia relations, Russian federation, diplomatic ties, political ties, economic ties and at last conclusion. The legal framework of bilateral relations continues to improve. Both countries have signed several agreements: on the avoidance of double taxation, on cooperation in the field of the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes, and on cooperation in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
