description After the Second World War, and even more in the late 1970s, the French Foreign Office initiated a policy of active construction to give the country embassy properties adapted to the exercise of diplomacy. The French embassy in Moscow, built between 1972 and 1979 by Joseph Belmont, is an interesting example. Inaugurated seven years after building was begun officially, and more than twelve years after the first summary plans, it is the result of collaboration between the French and Soviet authorities which sometimes proved complex. The focus here is twofold: on one hand, the institutional framework of the ministry and the conditions of designing French buildings abroad; and, on the other hand, the architectural solutions implemented by the architect, within the specific context of the Cold War.
