    In this case "trust in God" is "доверие к Богу". But it wasn't the point I was trying to make. The point is that people may not trust their neighbors, spouses, parents, children and so on leaving aside such big things like foreign countries. It's not a surprise to know that the trust level is low. What surprises me is that the question of trust has been brought up as such. Trust implies expectations.

    If I had a chance to ask those people who say that they don't have or have trust in Russia, I would ask them about their expectations and hopes set by them on Russia. And the key question is: How come you have some expectations about Russia as this is what defines trusting. We trust someone when our expectations are met. I don't think that USA or Russia (or any other country) tries to please someone else except oneself. So, why trust?
