The Embassy of Vietnam in Moscow is the diplomatic mission of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the Russian Federation. The chancery is located at 13 Bolshaya Pirogovskaya Street (Russian: ул. Большая Пироговская, 13) in the Khamovniki District of Moscow.[1]

The embassy occupies a former Mazurin orphanage building, privately funded by the estate of the late French-born Marie Charbonneau (d. 1890) who was a long-term unmarried partner of Nikolay Mazurin. Charbonneau bequested 200,000 roubles in cash and 80,000 in stock to establish an orphanage to be named after Mazurin.[2] The City Hall provided land on the north-western corner of then emerging Devichye Pole medical campus; the building, completed in 1895, became the first solo project by a 30-year-old architect Illarion Ivanov-Schitz.

As it was built, the orphanage provided shelter for up to 50 boys and 50 girls. Admittance was open to children aged 5 to 9 years, regardless of their creed or social standing; the city, however, required at least two years of Moscow residence. Orphans who reached junior school age studied in nearby public schools together with ordinary children; they could stay in the orphanage until the age of 12.[2]

In the 1930s, the nationalized building housed a public school.[2]
