Russian<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s relation with Russia is also intertwined due to a strong nostalgia for former Soviet days. Russian magazines and books, translated in Hindi were widely popular, writers like Gorky and Tolstoy are household names in India. After Russia\u2019s decline in the 1990s due to the disintegration of the USSR, its language also lost much of its sheen.
