Donald Trump’s approval rating is at a healthy 70 percent in the former Soviet Union.

Former Pres. Barack Obama was viewed unfavorably by 81 percent of Russians, according to VTsIOM...............................................

not because they are doing a good job for their own people, but because they are doing a good job for American business interests and secondarily, aren't a threat to us.
