Faroe–Soviet Friendship Association (Danish: Færøsk-Sovjetisk Venskabsforening), was a pro-USSR organization in the Faroe Islands founded in 1979, as a section of Landsforeningen Danmark-Sovjetunionen (National Association Denmark-Soviet Union). The chairman of the association was Andreas S. Højgaard, who was not a declared Communist.[1] The association arranged cultural exchanges and study trips to the Soviet Union. As of 1983, it had 100 members.[1]
In 1978, Højgaard, the rector of the teacher's seminary in Tórshavn, was invited to visit the Soviet Union with his brother and 20 other Danish citizens.[1] Following the trip, he contacted the Denmark–Soviet national association for help in organising a chapter in the Faroe Islands.[1] The Faroe–Soviet Friendship Association was established in November 1979.[1]
In 2000, Danish historian Bent Jensen was commissioned by the Faroese government to conduct research into "The Faroe Islands during the Cold War",[2][1] including the history of the Faroe–Soviet Friendship Association.[1]
