Abstract: When Mrs. Gandhi fell to the assassins' bullets on 31 October 1984, India's relations with the Soviet Union and the East European countries had already begun to show signs of strains despite an outward affirmation in official documents of an identity of views on various major global and regional issues. The earlier perception of mutually converging interests was gradually beginning to give way to relations between India and the USSR in terms of the rules of realpolitik. The USSR began increasingly to perceive its interests as a global power and India as a regional power which gave rise to an undercurrent of caution in Indo-Soviet relations which in turn is bound to influence the course of India's relations with East European countries as well.
