The impact of the "Color Revolution" in the People's Republic of Bangladesh on the prospects of the development of relations with India and the Russian Federation

the article analyzes the history and prospects of political dialogue between the People's Republic of Bangladesh and India and Russia after the "Color Revolution" in the People's Republic of Bangladesh that took place in the summer of 2024. New Delhi and Moscow are two "historical" partners of Dhaka which at one time played a crucial role in the context of gaining independence of Bangladesh. The overthrow of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Awami League party led to the serious changes in the country's political priorities after coming to power of nationalist forces. The interim government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh declares to be preferable the contacts with traditional opponents of India – China and Pakistan. Economic cooperation (with India) is suspended, many projects are frozen. The aggravation of ethnic and religious tensions, attacks on representatives of the Hindu minority in the People's Republic of Bangladesh have a negative impact on contacts between the countries creating a source of tension in the relations between them. Concerning the dynamics of changes in the relations between Dhaka and Moscow, it seems obvious that a stage of another cooling of relations is coming (albeit less obviously). However, there is a slowdown in the implementation of joint projects. The relevance of involving the People's Republic of Bangladesh in the sphere of cooperation with BRICS, SCO and other international platforms is also decreasing because of the pronounced orientation of the current authorities of Bangladesh towards the USA.
