Rozhansky Matt, the director of institute Kennana on Russian Federation and Commonwealth of Independent States in the Center Vilson Vudro (Kennan Institute, Woodrow Wilson Center):
the Relations Russian Federation and United States of America are one of the most significant for a global world order and are especially important on such directions, as threat of distribution of weapons of mass destruction, the regional conflicts, the world and safety as a whole. But these relations slide in the dangerous direction where there is a risk of expansion mediated or even the direct conflicts between two largest nuclear powers.
the Administration Donald Trump for certain will initially take less hostile stand in relation to Moscow, than it would be in a case with Hillary Clinton . Including because Donald Trump aspires personally will meet President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and to use the charm and negotiation skills to achieve cooperation with Russian Federation where it did not work well operating and to the previous administrations. But there are doubts in, whether it will be possible to reach much. Basis for existing disagreements between Russian Federation and United States of America in the conflict of interests, instead of in shortage of negotiation skills on both sides.
But in average and long-term prospect the new American administration will have no other choice how to look for pragmatic interaction with Moscow, the wide range of the vital interests of United States of America, depending on conflictness degree with Russian Federation even if deeper cooperation and it will not be looked through.
the Excessive emphasis on persons of leaders in Washington D.C. and Moscow instead of strengthening of bilateral institutes and common interests led p to that the relations are subject to repeating cycles of the overestimated expectations, being replaced disappointment and pro-slipping.
of Paule Sanders, the executive director of the Center for national interests (Center for the National Interest):
Trump's Victory gives to b chance Russian Federation and United States of America again to try to correct the relations. But it will be difficult because of existing dynamics and probable political opposition in Washington D.C.. Donald Trump called for closer interaction with Russian Federation against DAISh (the Arab name forbidden in Russian Federation extremist group "IGIL" - a comment" RG"). Syrie probably is the most successful initial opportunity for cooperation as and Russian Federation, and United States of America want stabilization of this country and DAISh defeat. To deal with such problem as Ukraine, will be more difficult.
Besides, the success Donald Trump was based on its promise to work by the principle" first of all", and its business experience specifies that he is the rigid negotiator. Therefore even if there will be new negotiations, they can be rigid for both parties. At the same time its tone in relation to Russian Federation more positive that is a fair wind for any new dialogue.
