omsk region: The response from some officials was joyous members of the state duma gave a round of applause; Viktor Nazarov, the governor of the Omsk region, announced that Putin party, United Russia, had triumphed in America; and Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russia Today TV, tweeted that she wanted to drive around Moscow with an American flag flying from the window, according to The Guardian. But officials higher up the chain treated the news with caution. But for all the professions of mutual admiration between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, the mood in the country post-vote should be described as confusion not euphoria. The prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, said Russia had more important problems to worry about than Trump victory. And Putin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said it was too early to say whether the victory would improve Russian-American relations, which have plummeted to a post-cold war low. The foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, urged people to wait for Trump actions and not focus on his rhetoric.
