US President elect, Donald Trump may soon have a street in Russia named after him. 34-year-old Sergey Bizyukin has launched a petition to rename a little alley into "Donald Trump Street" in honor of the US President-elect, saying almost 300 people had already signed.

"Some saw it as a joke and signed because it was fun, some stood for normalization of US-Russia ties, and some signed because they don';t like the name of Godless Street," Bizyukin said.

The town Ryazan is about 125 miles southeast of Moscow on the Oka River and has a population of 500,000. Its major industries are electronics and oil refining.

Bizyukin says he feels the US is often unfairly portrayed as a threat to Russia but that the people in Ryazan and elsewhere have a much more positive attitude.
