Russia celebrates Trump like a psychiatric ward welcomes a new doctor, says Alexander Nevzorov.

Russian journalist, television host, and publicist Alexander Nevzorov commented on how Russians are celebrating Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. elections and what this "jubilation" actually resembles.
Россия встречает Трампа, как психиатрическая больница - нового врача, считает Александр Невзоров.

Russia celebrates Trump like a psychiatric ward welcomes a new doctor.

In their excitement, the patients eat pajamas and set off fireworks, splattering pots against the ceiling.

The joy of the Russians is a mystery.

Yes, a lover of ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) has been replaced by a proponent of lobotomy.

And the patients are happy; they chatter about how delightful it is to have their frontal lobes rearranged right inside their skulls.

In reality, however, there are no grounds for Russian delight. Immobilization and injections will not be canceled. Yet the procedures might become more painful.

Russia will remain a heavy global ailment, just as it has always been.

They will fight against it, but in a shrewder and more insidious manner than the romantic Dr. Harris would have done.
