Soviet-Indian Relations: History and Perspectives

Abstract

It is clear that the issue of security in South Asia is closely linked with the whole set of complex relations of countries belonging to this region with other states and big powers situated quite near or at a distance of thousands of kilometers. In the not-so-distant past, conditions of the bipolar world, with antagonism between two superpowers, determined the security situation in the region to a considerable extent. In the ongoing process of transformation from a bipolar to a multipolar world system, there appear new problems and approaches.
