The Russian government on Friday honoured Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the Order of St Andrew the Apostle the First-Called, for “exceptional services in promoting special and privileged strategic partnership between Russia and India and friendly relations between the Russian and Indian peoples”, Moscow’s embassy in New Delhi tweeted. The award is the highest order of the Russian Federation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the directive honouring Modi with the award. The order is conferred on those with “exceptional services contributing to the prosperity, greatness and glory of Russia”, as well as heads of foreign governments for “outstanding services to the Russian Federation”, TASS news agency reported.

The award was established by Czar Peter I of Russia in the 17th century, but was abolished following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. It was reinstated by the government of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin in July 1998, seven years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

From 1998 to June 2018, the order was awarded to 18 people, TASS news agency said. Among these, the most prominent were Chinese President Xi Jinping, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn (who refused to accept it). Former President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev and former President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev were other foreign dignitaries who received the award.

On April 4, the United Arab Emirates had honoured Modi with the Zayed Medal. The Zayed Medal is the UAE’s highest honour awarded to kings, presidents and heads of states.

This is a very significant development. Notice how this came not right after a bill was introduced in the US Congress to give India the same status as NATO allies. Obviously, Russia does want to secure its interests in terms of military deals with India. However, there are much deeper reasons for this. Both the world's major powers are vying to have India in its camp because in the new multipolar world, securing India is important in asserting dominance in Asia. The reason is India occupies one of the most strategic locations in the world, right between the Arabian Sea and the Straits of Malacca, which account for the vast majority of Asian trade. Hence, any country that secures an alliance/partnership with India has a major advantage in the greater Indo-Pacific region as a whole. Notice how China is also trying to improve ties with India after it learned that it cannot simply push India around like it used to.

Previously, India made a huge mistake by limiting itself into the Soviet sphere of influence. However, India is now taking advantage of its strategic location and increasing military power, especially its Navy, to successfully balance its ties between the US and Russia while at the same time asserting its dominance in the greater IOR region.
