Biography
Vyacheslav Ivanovich Kochemasov (Russian: Вячеслав Иванович Кочемасов; 18 September 1918 – 25 August 1998) was a Soviet and Russian diplomat and politician.
He was the Soviet Ambassador to East Germany from 1983 till 1990. His term included the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 which effectively heralded the end, in 1990, of the German Democratic Republic. The Soviet government played a key role in this process.
