Indian foreign secretary and National Security Advisers are both telling lies. It is not the Russians who have refused to give 4 new nuclear plants, but India does not even wants to talk about this issue with Russia because that may upset the Americans. There was no discussions in Moscow about the nuclear plants at all, because India wanted not to discuss it.
Thus, these people from India are trying to put another pack of lies to justify the Indo-US deal. Now they would say unless we sign up, even the Russians will not supply anything. This is a total lie. Russians even offered, when Putin came to India last time, offshore nuclear plants, which would be outside the jurisdiction of the NSG, but India was not at all interested. This is the reason Russia also does not want to give any importance to India, as India is a lost cause for them. Read this from The Telegraph:
Moscow, Nov. 11: Unwilling to upset the passage of the nuclear deal with the US, India will not sign an agreement with Russia on the sale of four nuclear reactors for Kudankulam when Manmohan Singh meets Vladimir Putin here tomorrow.
The intergovernmental agreement was to have been the centrepiece of Singh%u2019s 30-hour visit, the shortest ever by an Indian Prime Minister to Russia.
It is not clear whether Delhi lost nerve or whether the Americans put pressure on India not to go ahead with the Russian reactor deal, at least not at this stage.

Most of the Hollywood movies target Russia (formerly USSR). Don%u2019t they portray India as a country filled with filth and poverty & people going to office on elephant, snake charmers climbing on snakes? That does not mean India is like that. Hollywood movies are not history text books, more often they makes for the western masses. That does not mean Russia is divine either. My point is we should take a balanced view and not get influenced by Movies are Media feeds. Russian participation is critical to maintain balance with US.

I have seen some Russian children's films about India, giving a very positive picture, totally different from what we see about India in Western films.
