In the short term it is rather better for Russia because specific people who could personally persuade Trump to act aggressively against Russia have left; in the strategic perspective it has become worse because toughness toward Russia has been part of the Democrats' identity over the last ten years.

В краткосрочной перспективе скорее лучше, потому что ушли конкретные люди, которые могли лично переубедить Трампа агрессивно действовать против России. В стратегической перспективе стало хуже, потому что жёсткость к России — это часть идентичности демократов в последние десять лет.
