Russians are heavily dependent on Chinese.Why Putin is not putting a leash on RT? They are are our ally right?!
It's a tough thing to get into the mindset of, owing to the good ol times but I'd urge fellow Indians to consider Russia not as a friend or a neutral entity but a clear cut enemy. There should be some hostility for them bootlicking the Chinese for money. All Russian sources qre regularly publishing anti Indian stuff, either selectively, by blowing it out of proportion or outright lying.Russians are heavily dependent on Chinese.
We need to remove our rose-tinted USSR era glasses
Russia has its own set of problems with China and its not always friendly. They even had a skirmish in 1969.It's a tough thing to get into the mindset of, owing to the good ol times but I'd urge fellow Indians to consider Russia not as a friend or a neutral entity but a clear cut enemy.

As for weapon deals, Turkey was fighting Russians in Syria and shipping S400. Hostility is almost a non factor in business till they're overwhelmingly dependent on you.
This is old school thinking I am afraid. Putin stayed too long in power, he is losing clear sight of the chinese threat, and he is obsessed with his grand dreams of Eurasian superpower. Time and time again President Macron has been trying to lure Putin away from China and remind him of the other grand dream, the Lisbon - Vladivostok pan-european alliance. It is simply going nowhere. The naked truth is that Russia shall end soon like some African countries, totally dependent of Chinese money and investments.Russia has its own set of problems with China and its not always friendly.

The OROB of China is taking central Asian republics out of sphere of influence of Russia. Not to mention the reverse engineering of Russian tech by China.
Russia needs India to be strong to handle China. No one wants CCP to dictate terms to them.
Offtopic,Just for info,
Russia vetoed Kashmir resolution by China last year in UNSC.
Exactly Russia is an important ally to have in UNSC. Even if they don't support us against China they will not be against us either. US is sometimes unpredictable on Kashmir at least Russia backs us fully there along with France. I think our current leadership is very clever & knows how to balance between Russia & US. Take benefit from both of them.Just for info,

Russia is neither friend nor foe.
It is a country slapped by economic sanctions hard and it has weapons to sell.
We made a deal for s400 with them even when uncle sam wanted us to have THAAD and cried how it would affect future military deals.
and in the same way we also invested in Russia far east by extending line of credit and also ONGC videsh and TATA power are making significant investment there.
If u want to blame russia for RT , blame france for france 24, Qatar for Aljazeera and german for DW Tv.
After art 370 they carried all news about pak overseas demonstration and also showed POK demonstration as Kashmir demonstration and used to call the diplomats of PAK in respective countries for briefing.
But the matter of the fact is no country from above opposed. Now someone will argue is they remained silent. but in diplomacy keeping quiet is also supporting. Just lke staging a walk out from parliament or UNGA, what you do is you dnt share the blame of support but let the party with majority win.
I don't think it matters, as our arms import dries up , Russia will suck up to china .Recent Major Defence & Commercial Orders given to Russians under Modi Govt:-

I think europe gets russia all wrong.Has russia or erstwhile USSR brought any positive development to Europe?NO.This is old school thinking I am afraid. Putin stayed too long in power, he is losing clear sight of the chinese threat, and he is obsessed with his grand dreams of Eurasian superpower.
