      IIRC they weren't cold war "partners", but the USSR sent tons of aid to India and they've always been grateful to the USSR and by extension Russia for that. There are dudes in India named "Stalin". Do nice stuff for people and they will do nice stuff for you, who knew that actually good foreign policy was that simple?

            I mean, it's beneficial and plain common sense for a socialist country to help out another socialist country in a world dominated by capital. Of course, it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. It serves that role and accomplishes the selflessness inherent in Communism.
