Yuri Vladimirovich Dubinin (Russian: Юрий Владимирович Дубинин, 7 October 1930 – 20 December 2013) was a Soviet and Russian diplomat.

Biography

[edit]

Dubinin was born in Nalchik, the capital of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, within the Russian SFSR in the Soviet Union. He received his doctorate from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, focusing on the international politics of the Asia-Pacific region.[1][2] He was the Soviet Union's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in 1986; Ambassador to the United States from 1986 to 1990; and Ambassador to France from 1990 to 1991. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Dubinin was a Russian deputy foreign minister from 1994 to 1996.[3]

After leaving the foreign service, Dubinin worked as a professor of international politics at Moscow State Institute of International Relations and Moscow International Higher Business School. He was also a member of the Oriental Studies Association of Russia and served on the boards of the UN Association of Russia and the Russia-USA Association.[2]

In 1986, Leonard Lauder hosted a New York City luncheon attended by Donald Trump and Soviet Ambassador to the United States Yuri Dubinin during which Trump hashed out his partnership with the Kremlin.[4][5][6]

Dubinin with support from Vitaly Churkin is known to have organized future US President Donald Trump's first visit to the Soviet Union in July 1987.[7][a][b]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ In January 1986, Dubinin sent Donald Trump a message in which Dubinin stated that "the leading Soviet agency for international tourism, Goskomturist, is interested in creating a joint project for the construction and management of a large hotel in Moscow." Goskomturist (Russian: Госкомтурист) or Intourist was run by the KGB.[8][9][10][11]
  2. ^ After Donald Trump traveled to Russia and visited Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1987, he began organizing sporting events through representatives with Vladimir Putin and Sergey Chemezov's Sovintersport which was a portmanteau for Soviet, International, Export, and Sport and held a monopoly on Soviet sports athletes competing in the West. One event included the former Tour de Jersey which became the Tour de Trump and included Soviet bicyclists with their KGB agent Sergey Chemizov.[10][12][13]
