My little 2 1/2 yr old daughter (home now just over 2 months) does not like to be rocked either. I think that any attention in the "going to bed" procedure in Russia was negative attention (received only if they were being bad). So I believe she still associates being held and rocked with getting in trouble.
I have found other ways to snuggle her before bed. Since she's a little older - we'll sit in rocker together and watch a Baby Einstein video before bed. We'll read a book together with her in the crib etc...
She doesn't mind being held and snuggled other times -- but bed time seems to make her think she's in trouble.
