"Trump's election has generated enormous
enthusiasm in Russia because his warm words about Russia and Putin have given
us hope that the USA and the West will stop their attack on Russia,"
Sergei Markov, a former pro-Putin lawmaker, said on social media.

With his left hand on a Bible used by Abraham
Lincoln, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th US president around noon
(1700 GMT) on Friday.
Trump will then give an address at the west front of the U.S. Capitol, before leading a parade to the White House.
The schedule:
After breakfast and a church service, Trump and his wife, Melania, will meet outgoing President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at the White House. Following tradition, Trump and Obama will ride together down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will swear in Mike Pence as vice president. Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath of office to Trump. Trump will then give an inaugural address expected to last about 20 minutes.
As many as 900,000 people are expected to turn out for the event, including thousands of protesters. After the ceremony, the Obamas will leave the Capitol to begin their post-White House lives. Trump and Pence will stay for lunch.
Starting around 3pm (2000 GMT), Trump, Pence and their families will lead a parade up Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.
Donald and Melania Trump may step out of their limousine briefly along the parade route to wave to well-wishers. Three inaugural balls are scheduled in the evening.
Following tradition, Obama will leave his successor a letter in the Oval Office desk. Its contents have not been divulged.
