Obama has destroyed USA's relations with Russia. Will Donald Trump try to restore them? Russia needs cooperation, rather than bargaining with the USA.

Russia took the Crimea back without a single gunshot. The Syrian campaign required as many as 50 aircraft and cost Russia $500 million

Western analysts believe that the Kremlin could be behind the leak of the final episode of the popular "Sherlock" series. This is no joke - they do believe so in the West.

In late December, Russia's long-range aviation celebrated a professional holiday.
