In 2011, Vladimir Putin, who then served as the Prime Minister, at a meeting with Joe Biden, who then served as the Vice President, suggested breaking stereotypes and introducing a visa-free regime between Russia and the United States. Joe Biden responded positively to the idea. Needless to say that Putin's suggestion did not receive any practical development at all.
Many in Russia advertise the Trump agenda these days not so much in the hope for the US-Russian relations to improve, but simply because the name of the US President-elect still makes headlines all over the world.
Moscow's PR agency Glavpiar sent an official appeal to President Putin with a proposal to reward Donald Trump for winning the election in order to improve the relations between Russia and the United States, Moskvichmag publication reports.
They propose to declare the year 2025 the year of Donald Trump in Russia. The agency also offered Putin to consider renaming the Barrikadnaya metro station in Moscow (where the US embassy is located), to Trumpskaya in order to symbolically remove the "barricades" between the two countries.
The agency also believes that it would be a good idea to erect a monument to Donald Trump in Moscow and call it "The Golden King of Tweets."
