Grigory Yavlinsky’s website, 9.11.2016
So, Donald Trump was elected President of the USA. What will happen now? Nobody knows. Even Trump himself does not know.
As for Russia, it was clear long before the election day that a bare victory of any candidate would not fundamentally change the US-Russia relations. The policy of the Russian government led Russia to a deadlock and brought it to isolation. And as long as these policies do not change, the tension in Russia’s relations with the United States will be maintained. The reasoning by our domestic TV propaganda faces about Trump’s victory has nothing to do with concern about Russia’s interests, they are merely rejoicing at the misfortune of others: “my neighbor’s cow has died, it is a trifle, but a very pleasant trifle”.
