Indeed. I have looked at Russian moves recently and while I do not deny that Russia is more than willing to accommodate Pakistan but in all honesty, it looks more like Russia diversifying it's partners in the region and attempting to undermine U.S hegemony over Pakistan.
Russia is primarily looking after its own interests in Afghanistan, mostly because of the fallout to its own backyard (Central Asian states) from the Afghan conflict. It has zero to do with being wanting to align with Pakistan. It is simply the alignment of interests in one theater of conflict. The relationship between Russia and India is not going to breakdown any soon where you will see Russia choosing Pakistan..
And I don't know about you, but I am sick of seeing Pakistan used by different world powers for achieving their own goals. Jumping from the U.S camp to the Russian camp is not really that appealing to me. Russia and India are both mature states that deal with all nations to benefit themselves, while we are partisan submissive folks who like to stay submissive to one party or another and are incapable of forming a foreign policy that enhances our national prestige and is independent of other influences.
