The scintillating video on Koo evokes nostalgia. It showcases snippets into the visits and dialogues exchanged by the Prime Ministers and Presidents of both countries over the years, cultural engagements between artistes, as well as cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma’s space mission in 1984 onboard the Soviet Salyut 7 space station. Ties between India and the then Soviet Union officially commenced prior to India’s independence from British rule – on April 13, 1947.
