- Abstract
This paper discusses the Indo-Russia strategic relations, through various phases such as 1947-1956, 1956-1971, 1971-1985, 1985-1996 & 1996 onwards. In each of these phases, Indo-Russian relations have grown or declined depending on the perceptions and experiences that both the countries have had mainly with the Western powers. The rough period in Russian-Indian relations after 1985 arose from the perceived need of both the countries to connect more intensively with the West. This paper also covers the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War which brought about a fundamental transformation. India has used the Soviet economic and military aid to pursue its own regional goals, the most important of which are containment of Pakistan and China. Experience suggests that the bilateral relationship works best when both perceive a link between China and Pakistan.
