And what is the level of coverage of Russia's equivalent of RTI? (assuming they have one)

  you are acting as if the BJP gave India the RTI. Congress gave the country RTI. and bjp has been systematically dismanteling RTI step by step. We won't have a functioning RTI in a few years. and the existing coverage of RTI in India is abysmal. This you'd know if you knew and read the facts. the govt has severely cut funding of RTI source: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/over-63-per-cent-cut-in-budget-for-rti-cic/articleshow/62745532.cms https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/ov... 63% cut in funding of RTI and CIC, both systems who are responsible for transparency.

India had RTI before Modi came to power, Modi dismanteled RTI. so as far as I see, from the RTI perspective, India and Russia are same.
