It's no secret that Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin seem to feel a certain admiration for each other:

Many ordinary Russians are Trump fans as well.

In a recent YouGov poll conducted in the G20 nations, those surveyed in every country said they would take Hillary Clinton over Trump,except in Russia - where Mr Trump leads by a landslide.

While relations between Russia and the Obama administration have soured over Moscow's policies in Ukraine and Syria, Trump - in his foreign policy speech - says he thinks he can work with Russia.

Many Russians believe if Donald Trump were to become president that American foreign policy would become more isolationist.

They believe that would lead to fewer confrontations and ultimately to better relations between the two countries.
