As mayor of San Francisco, Feinstein issued an official city proclamation in support of the World Festival of Youth and Students, held in [[Moscow]]. The event was organized by the Soviet-controlled World Federation of Democratic Youth and was supported by the [[Communist Party USA]] in 1986.
Feinstein traveled to Moscow that same year as part of a trade delegation of 450 U.S. businessmen and public officials.
A little over a year later, on Jan. 27, 1987, Soviet Consul General Valentin Kamenev presented Feinstein with a Soviet streetcar: “A streetcar named desire.” Also present at the ceremony was Viktor Zhelezny, deputy chief of public transport for the Russian Republic.
