You do realize that the Soviets of the cold-war era have themselves moved away from the policies that "gets us to our grave". Besides, we have come down quite some ways on the reforms path to go back to those dark ages.

Under the agreement, the two parties will organise bilateral and multilateral seminars, conferences and round table meets on issues of importance on international affairs as also concerning Indo-Russian relations.

This just seems like a general agreement of cooperation and to reaffirm our non-alignment policy to the Russians considering that we have been partnering with the US on a number of issues off late.

They did not stand by us boldly, they just did not want US to have absolute control in the Indian ocean and for that India served their purpose. Even if we take military connections between the two, politically we are very different. The Duma is more or less like a corporate oligarchy which at present seems to work for the Russians and Congress is trying to emulate the same in India. The only problem with that is, human rights and freedom go down the drain. If we want to follow that path, better throw the democracy card down the drain.
people to people/culturally, we can be friends, I do not know, but Indian govt should not be linking with the rooskies given their abysmal human rights record, curbs on basic freedom as human beings and their continuous and errand support for totalitarian & authoritative regimes.
