Development of India-Russia relations has been a key pillar of India's foreign policy. It is pertinent to look at the historical development of India-Russia relations. India and Russia (formerly the Soviet Union) have had a longstanding and strategic relationship since the establishment of formal diplomatic ties in April 1947, just months before India's independence. The relationship has evolved over the decades, with periods of both cooperation and tension.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gemini_Generated_Image_nwqbflnwqbflnwqb-1024x572.png"}
