Not only is supposed to get the relationship between the Kremlin and the White House back on track in the United States, including in Russia, they are preparing for the inauguration of Donald Trump, the man in Moscow.
Employees of the Art Grani arms factory in the Urals region of Chelyabinsk have an inauguration coin beaten. A kilo of silver on one side depicting Trump and on the other hand, the Statue of Liberty and the words "Trump we trust." Moscow is open Trump Tattoo Studio. The official shop of the Russian army gives American citizens and employees of the US embassy ten percent discount on the day of the inauguration. The nightclub Arbat 13 in the center of Moscow has an inauguration celebration on sale, where The Trump gangster jazz band will play.
half monster
Russia has in recent months buried in stories in newspapers and reports on television, where the outgoing Obama is depicted as a half-sample and the upcoming Trump almost as a savior of the fatherland. Russia understood. Now it all comes back good, the message said.
Indeed, Trump and his future colleague Putin have generally reacted positively to one another. Although his ministers of foreign affairs and defense were a lot more thoughtful, Trump sees plenty of opportunities if you believe the messages. Although he was not very concrete so far, he has embarrassed at least one trial balloon. Perhaps, Trump said in an interview with the German Bild and the British Times, we can negotiate a swap , we end the sanctions against Russia (adjusted for the annexation of the Crimea) if we can reach an agreement on the reduction of nuclear weapons.
Not only tattoostudio's and nightclubs in Russia look ahead with hope. Also in the Russian parliament, they can not wait to Trump takes the oath.
An example. Four years ago Russia introduced the so-called Dima Yakovlev-law. That is a law that prohibits adoption of Russian children by Americans. The occasion was officially the death of an adopted boy, Dima Yakovlev. Unofficially it was a response to the US Magnitsky Act , which provides for sanctions against Russian officials involved in the death of lawyer and whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky in a Russian prison, probably because he had been denied medical attention.
For a long time the media published stories about how horrible American adoptive parents of Russian children treated. Suddenly the mood has changed. The chairman of Russia's upper house, Valentina Matvienko, suddenly sees opportunities to withdraw the Dima Yakovlev Act.
crucial role
In 2014 Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea. Generally believed that Russian forces are also involved in the war in eastern Ukraine. Actions thus led to sanctions against Russia. Moscow expects that Trump will not be too worried about the situation in Ukraine and that it is more or less given a free hand in the neighboring country. In Syria, Russia plays a crucial role and are Americans more or less on the sidelines. Also, it will not change much, think many Russian observers.
But not everything is hunky-dory. The words Trump so far has had on China, are considerably less friendly. In the Kremlin they are happy that they (temporarily at least) will depend on the role of bogeyman, but China now is assigned approves them less happy . China is seen as an important partner. Furthermore, there was a moment question that Trump and Putin would meet shortly in Iceland. The message sank very quickly like a pudding in.
Different world
How the relationship between Russia and the US will be exactly in the coming years, it is impossible to say. But Putin is sure a presidential year and probably he sticks there is a limit to it. If no crazy things happen, Trump is at least four years in the White House.
It seems safe to say that the world is very different in 2021 will look like now.
