Hopefully both Putin and Trump can work together now to avert further escalation and then to develop a joint strategy to defeat ISIS, which was always the common sense thing to do.
Putin statement on Trump win! Russia is ready & willing to restore full relations with USA
Frankly, I don't see him very happy. It seems it was a bit unexpected win of Donald Trump even for Putin.
Sovereign democracy is an ideologically potent concept. Its ambition is not to explain the world but to change it. It succeeds in confronting Kremlin's two ideological enemies of choice: the liberal democracy of the west and the populist democracy admired by the rest.

Russia is holding USA hostages ?
USA is sponsoring various jihadi groups in the Middle East and CIA never stopped dirty drug deals in Mexico, Afghanistan, Colombia etc etc.

and unwilling to work with the US all of a sudden flips immediately after an election
