metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article presents an analysis of the Russian probe of 2016–2019. The author defines the
  Russian probe as a complex of investigations originated at different chronological stages by
  various institutions and communities with regard to Russian meddling in US domestic processes.
  Distinctive facets of the Russian probe and the varied nature of claims and allegations
  are reviewed. The author, constituting a two dimensional binary matrix, offers a classification
  of Russian inquiries based on the chronological characteristics and essence of the case as well
  as chronology of initiation and institution in charge. The author puts forward and supports a
  hypothesis stating that the Russian probe is an independent variable of the US political agenda
  and should not be considered as a byproduct of internal political struggle. The mere personality
  of the new president, political elite’s rejection of Donald Trump, his Russian contacts,
  and potential predisposition to Russia does not necessarily stipulate initiation of the Russian
  probe. The author raises and responds to a set of research questions which include but are not
  limited to: a) does the Russian probe have an electoral dimension only? b) does it have a pure
  anti-Trump nature? c) was the Russian probe launched following the US presidential election
  and ignited by the elections? d) does it have a homogenous institutional architecture? Which
  means of investigations were initiated and conducted by the same institution or did they have
  a multi-institutional origin? e) if outcomes of varied investigations do not concur, do they
  have anything in common? And finally, f) will the Russian probe eliminate all risks and threats
  of the nature under consideration to the USA? The author comes to a conclusion about the
  inevitability of the Russian probe no matter which candidate would have won the presidency
  in 2016 and confirms the inability of investigation results to cope with risks of compromising
  domestic processes.
