India: a treaty applies, but an apostille is safer
For India a treaty formally removes legalisation, but in practice an apostille is often asked for — it is safer to obtain one.

Which document are you taking to India?
Choose the document and the region of issue: the chain of steps appears at once.
The treaty on legal assistance of 3 October 2000 between Russia and India is in force, so no legalisation or apostille is required for documents covered by the treaty.
Even so, the Indian embassy and universities often still ask for an apostille: check the requirements with the particular receiving institution in India.
