Iran and its people have special identity elements like: Persian language, Shiite Islamism, nationalism, regional hegemonies, anti-foreignism and etc, that some of them like: Shiite Islamism and anti-foreignism after Islamic Republic of Iran are reinforced and had deep impressions on foreign relations of Iran and Russia. In this survey, we are going to answer this question that, according to constructive elements of Islamic Republic of Iran's identity, how was relation between Iran and Russia? To answer this question, through the explanatory method with general descriptive, constructive elements of Islamic republic of Iran identity recognized and its effects studied on relations between Iran and Russia after Islamic republic of Iran. Results of the survey show that according to constructivism, relations between Iran and Russia include different paradigms of cultural co operations and common point of views and will be able to affect and transmit from cultural field to political and foreign relations of two neighbor countries.
