Particularly between president-elect trump and mr. putin. there certainly could be the potential. one of the things that was viewed with a lot of interest here in moscow was the fact that donald trump came out with a statement shortly afterwards where he also mentioned russia as trying to hack into sensitive u.s. information. however mentioning it along with china and other state and nonstate actors. so i think that was something viewed very closely here in moscow to see whether he would come out with a tough statement toward the russians or whether or not it would be more general as he did. the mood here in moscow is one that they believe after january 20th, there could be somewhat of a reset, if we can use that word, of relations between russia and the united states. obviously they re hoping for concessions from the u.s. especially when it comes to loosening and possibly getting rid of some of the very crippling sanctions on the russian economy. it seems almost something that ....
