俄罗斯欢迎川普胜选，希望改善俄美关系

Russia warmly welcomed the U.S. presidential election victory of Donald Trump with officials, analysts, and ordinary citizens cautiously hoping it could turn a new page in relations between Russia and the United States. Russian analysts say there are still many unknowns about Trump and whether his campaign rhetoric will translate into policy.

A mock election organized by the U.S. Embassy in Moscow was quickly overtaken by startling results in the real presidential race.

Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump, saying he hoped to work together with the next American president to lift relations out of the current crisis. On the streets of Moscow, Trump's victory was welcomed by most Russians.

But Russian media coverage and praise for Trump during his campaign raised expectations for a man unknown to politics who was not supposed to win and whose policies are not yet clear.

Regardless of hopes and expectations, a U.S. led by Donald Trump begins a new chapter in relations with Russia.
