Right-wingers around the world have rejoiced as one of their own, Donald Trump, prepared to ascend to the US presidency, leaving a host of other politicians left trying to figure out what happened.
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump on his election win in a telegram.
"Putin expressed hope for joint work to restore Russian-American relations from their state of crisis, and also to address pressing international issues and search for effective responses to challenges concerning global security," the Kremlin said in a statement.
Putin also said he was sure a constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington would serve the interests of both countries, the Kremlin said.
"The Americans have taken their land back," tweeted Dutch far-right firebrand Geert Wilders.
The sentiment was shared by Nigel Farage, acting leader of the right-wing UK Independence Party and French far-right National Front party leader Marine Le Pen, who quickly congratulated Trump.
"You have fought a brave campaign," Farage, who had supported Trump at some campaign events, told him.
"Congratulations to the new president of the United States Donald Trump and to the American people, free!" Le Pen tweeted.
