  2. I just watched a Russian mention how India took advantage of them during the collapse of the Soviet Union. With the massive depreciation of the ruble at the time, India repaid a large debt to the Soviet Union in rubles, which had lost most of their value. India felt proud of this, but it deeply hurt the Russians, and they have never forgotten it. Indians saw themselves as clever for doing this. Later, Putin offered India a deal of $1 for an aircraft carrier to get them hooked, but in the end, it cost over $3 billion, along with other arms deals, to recover the money for Russia.

  4.  @RR-pc7yv  again, it was from a Russian, then I asked the same question to AI, Yes, it is true that India repaid a large portion of its debt to the Soviet Union in rubles, taking advantage of the massive depreciation of the ruble in the early 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. During the Soviet era, India had accumulated substantial debt from purchasing Soviet military equipment and goods under a rupee-ruble trade agreement. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the value of the ruble fell drastically. India repaid the debt in rubles, which had lost much of their value due to hyperinflation and the economic turmoil in post-Soviet Russia. This arrangement was seen by many in Russia as a significant financial loss, as the rubles India used to repay the debt were worth far less than when the original loans were given. This issue has been cited as a point of contention in the historical economic relations between India and Russia. However, it was part of the broader economic fallout from the Soviet Union's collapse, which impacted many countries that had been involved in similar trade agreements. so save your BS to yourself, it shows how evil you treated someone you even considered as a friend.
