The Soviet embassy compound was built in 1965 on Darulaman Road on a 5-hectare plot; it comprised the chancery, the trade counsellor's office, four four-storey residential blocks, a club, an open-air cinema and a swimming pool. The buildings were assembled from precast reinforced-concrete elements. In August 1992 the staff were evacuated and the compound fell into decay; on 28 December 2001 the Embassy of Russia resumed work, and the rebuilt compound covers about a third of the former area.
Комплекс посольства СССР построен в 1965 году на проспекте Дар-уль-Аман на участке площадью 5 га; в него входили здание посольства, корпус аппарата торгового советника, четыре четырёхэтажных жилых дома, клуб, открытый кинотеатр и бассейн. Здания собраны из сборных железобетонных элементов. В августе 1992 года сотрудники посольства были эвакуированы, и комплекс пришёл в упадок; 28 декабря 2001 года посольство России возобновило работу, а восстановленный комплекс занимает около трети прежней площади.
