Oleg Nikolayevich Khlestov (Russian: Олег Николаевич Хлестов; 6 June 1923 – 31 August 2021) was a Soviet diplomat and academic. He served in various diplomatic roles from 1945 onwards, and was Permanent Representative of the USSR to International Organizations in Vienna between 1979 and 1988.
Entering the diplomatic service after 1945, Khlestov spent the early stage of his career with the Soviet Union's diplomatic mission in Bulgaria, before returning to the central offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and becoming a leading expert on international law and affairs. By the 1960s he was taking part in international conferences and negotiations, helping to draft bilateral treaties, and by the 1970s he led delegations to discuss matters of military deployments and disarmament, and the application of space and maritime law in international settings. Retiring shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he continued to participate in scientific and teaching activities.
Khlestov became an influential academic, teaching at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and Moscow State Linguistic University. He wrote over 170 publications on international law and relations, and was vice-president of the Russian Association for the Assistance of the United Nations, and the Russian Association of International Law. He also assisted in the preparation of Russian laws as a representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Federation Council, and a member of the Expert Council on International Law under the Chairman of the State Duma. He was part of the team of authors writing the Diplomatic Academy's "International Law" textbook, was head of the Security Council's Expert Group on International Law, and was a member of the editorial boards of the journals "International Lawyer" and "Diplomatic Service". He received numerous awards over his career, including the Order of the Red Banner of Labour and the Order of Friendship of Peoples, prior to his death in 2021.
