Russian Perception of Trump: A Pragmatic Leader

In Russia, Donald Trump is viewed as a more rational figure compared to other American politicians, particularly regarding his stance on Russia and the Ukraine conflict. Political analysts suggest that Trump's approach during his presidency, characterized by political realism, resonates with Russian citizens. Dmitry Yevstafyev, a political scientist, noted that Trump’s campaign emphasizes avoiding a major war between Russia and NATO, contrasting sharply with the Biden administration's confrontational tactics.

Trump's Appeal Among Russians

According to a recent survey by VTsIOM, if given the opportunity, a significant portion of Russians would support Trump in the upcoming U.S. elections. The survey indicated that 40% of respondents favor Trump, while only 8% would vote for Kamala Harris. This preference highlights a broader discontent with the current Democratic leadership and a fascination with Trump's capitalist persona, as noted by American political scientist Malek Dudakov. He argues that Trump's image stands out against what he describes as uninspiring politicians in the Democratic Party.

Future Implications of a Trump Presidency

Experts predict that a Trump victory could lead to a shift in U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding Ukraine. While Trump is not inherently pro-Russian, analysts believe he may prioritize American interests and seek to negotiate with Russia if he perceives a loss for the West in Ukraine. Dudakov suggests that Trump's pragmatism could facilitate dialogue between Washington and Moscow, whereas a Democratic administration would likely continue ideological confrontations. However, Evgeny Semibratov warns that Trump's desire to 'make America great' could lead to increased support for Ukraine if his plans are rejected by Putin.
