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. The association arranged cultural exchanges and study trips to the Soviet Union.
In 2000, Danish historian Bent Jensen was commissioned by the Faroese government to conduct research into "The Faroe Islands during the Cold War".[1][2] The study includes information on the Faroese–Soviet Friendship Association, activities of the association, and its funding.[2]
