Russia is stuck with commercial. They do a lot of it and are great at it, cheap, fast, simple, tested thousands of time in practice, with small iterative improvements but without any huge breakthroughs, not much science is being done.

"The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Russia's Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos) have signed an Agreement on joint lunar research and exploration. This cooperation envisages Chandrayaan-2, a joint lunar mission involving a lunar orbiting spacecraft and a Lander/Rover on the Moon's surface. ISRO will have the prime responsibility for the Orbiter and Roskosmos will be responsible for the Lander/Rover."

Actually, just to remind, India has already commenced work on Chandrayaan-2, which will soft-land a rover on the Moon.

This mission should happen in just over 3 years. Here is the countdown clock:

There are 2 NASA payloads selected for the Chandrayaan I, not one.

1. The MiniSAR: To detect water ice in permanently shadowed regions on the lunar poles.
2. The M3: A mineral mapper.

As for the attention LRO is getting... well good! The various instruments on this orbiter will provide massive amounts of data, useful in several fields of science. It's also an important step for the planned presence on the moon.
