if Putin really meant it then pakistani should consider themselves lucky after what they did to them in Afghanistan war, grab it with both hands pakistan, friends like Russia are very very rare

PAKISTAN haven't done anything to RUSSIA, it was USSR(Soviet Union) & Pakistan took the revenge of 1971.

The Hindu : Today's Paper / INTERNATIONAL : Russian power boost for Pakistan, Afghanistan

Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has offered to invest “at least $500 million” in a Central Asian electricity project that will provide energy to Afghanistan and Pakistan.


Under the Central Asia-South Asia Electricity Trade and Transmission Project, CASA 1000, hydropower-rich Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan will export 1,000MW of electricity to power-deficit Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Pak is Russia’s ‘most important’ partner in South Asia: Putin

Moscow: Pakistan is Russia’s “most important” partner in South Asia and in the Islamic world, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Monday during a meeting with his Pakistani counterpart in St Petersburg.

“Pakistan today is not an important trade and economic partner of Russia, but also most important Russian partner in South Asia and in the Islamic world,” Putin was quoted as saying at his meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani.

The two met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) prime-ministerial meet in St Petersburg, ITAR-TASS reported.

Welcoming Gilani, Putin said he was happy to see him in Russia and his hometown St Petersburg, though he had met him earlier in other countries.

He also confirmed Moscow’s readiness to invest $500 million on the CASA-1000 electric transmission line to supply Pakistan with the Central Asian power from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.


With deterioration of Islamabad’s ties with Washington, Moscow is seeking a closer relationship with India’s arch-rival with the blessing of China — Pakistan’s “all-weather” friend.


This Russian shift in South Asia policy where India had always been Moscow’s main partner is reflection of apprehensions over New Delhi-Washington relationship turning into a military-political alliance to block Russia and China’s interests in the region.

Moscow also believes that the key to the stability in Russia’s soft belly — Central Asia — is ties with Islamabad, which has the potential of creating mischief along and inside the borders of the former Russian empire.

USSR is long dead buddy, Pakistan's efforts in Afghanistan helped to make the Soviet Union one of the shortest lived nations in the history of the Earth, from 1922–1991. RIP.

Russia on the other hand, is not the Soviet Union. Russia is a good partner to have.

You must be joking, right? I can understand if you are playing to the gallery of naive and ignoramuses!!

Just FYI, erstwhile USSR's woes were in no way related to its Afghanistan campaign. Just so that you know.

Yes, yes!! Russia's relations with Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Palestine, etc mean nothing. Only with Pakistan can Russia finally "get into the Islamic World".!

Indian friends....Let is accept the hard fact of this geopolitics....Russian are the samrtest guy who need to survive in the pseudo cold war scenario....Indian can not continue as it is doing now to get the benifit from both the sides from Russia and US too...I think at one point of time India has to make a call that either it should make itself so strong that it does not need to go with any one or it has to allign with US/Russia -China alliance to work against US.....

Its been discussed ad nauseum here on many threads before. You can also get a lot of information on the interwebz.
But, since you ask, in a nutshell, Perestroika and Glasnost - coupled with economic pressure of keeping up with the US and its allies - loosened the already bursting-at-the-seams union of republics.
Afghanistan was a joke - so to speak. Knowledgeable members would know.
