soft power quotient will get a boost with Russian President Vladimir Putin planning to discuss promotion of Indian cinema with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their meeting Tuesday on the eve of the BRICS Summit here. Putin recently said Indian cinema is more popular in Russia than entertainment from any other BRICS country. Russia has a dedicated TV channel that plays Bollywood movies «day and night», he said. This was the first time Putin has brought up the issue of the soft power quotient in the India-Russia partnership. Bollywood movies have been extremely popular in the erstwhile Soviet Union. Raj Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty and Hema Malini are cult figures across the ex-Soviet republics. Yet Russia has not been chosen by the Indian film industry as a location for film shootings.

Russia has never done anything to impact India's interests negatively, said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday at the NDTV World Summit. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the BRICS summit in Russia from October 22-23 at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In July this year, PM Modi visited Russia, his first since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine, a war that has complicated the relationship between the longtime allies and pushed Russia closer to India's rival China.

Mikhail Pichugin, 46, was discovered severely malnourished, having lost 50 kilograms (110 pounds) during his time at sea. Authorities confirmed that the bodies of his 49-year-old brother, Sergei, and 15-year-old nephew, Ilya, were found on board the small rubber boat, marking a tragic end to the family’s voyage. The three, according to a Moscow Times report, had embarked on a whale-watching trip from the Khabarovsk region in early August. Their plan was to explore the Shantar Islands, located off the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, with the intention of returning by August 9. When they failed to arrive back as scheduled, a search and rescue operation was launched, but the group’s boat was nowhere to be found. Pichugin’s ordeal ended late Monday when a fishing vessel spotted him near the Kamchatka Peninsula, approximately 23 kilometers (12 miles) offshore. This location was more than 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) east of the Shantar Islands, where the trio was last seen. Pichugin was immediately taken to a hospital in the Magadan region for treatment after his rescue.
