By Christian Lowe MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's political and media establishment heralded talks between the Russian and U.S. leaders in Helsinki as a victory for Vladimir Putin in breaking down Western resolve to treat Russia as a pariah. "The West's attempts to isolate Russia failed," read the headline on a report on Monday's summit meeting in state-run newspaper Rossiisskaya Gazeta. The praise from Russia's elite for Putin's performance at the summit contrasted sharply with the reaction in Washington where U.S. President Donald Trump's own Republican party accused him of failing to stand up to Putin.
