A career diplomat, Alexander M. Belonogov, has been named Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, the Foreign Ministry announced in Moscow. Belonogov, 55, formerly the Soviet envoy in Egypt, succeeds Yuri V. Dubinin, named to the U.N. post in March, then two months later appointed Soviet ambassador in Washington. Belonogov’s appointment rounds out a string of recent Soviet diplomatic shuffles, including the appointment of new ambassadors to Britain, France, Spain, Japan and China.
