metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper examines the reactions to a complex case involving a series of developments labeled
  in the United States as Russia’s meddling in the 2016 American elections. The paper addresses
  major developments or political fallouts of Russiagate. First, some politicians, mostly
  in Russia but only few in the West, insisted that there has been no meddling or interference.
  Second, to other commentators, especially in the West, the meddling with US elections indeed
  took place. Yet to others, and this is the third development, the problem was not necessarily
  about the act of the 2016 meddling, but rather about the following “collusion” between Donald
  Trump and some Moscow’s operatives, on the other, and their attempts to “cover up” their
  mutual illegal affairs. In the context of these policy narratives, this paper’s conclusion refers
  to the “We had it coming” phenomenon in international relations. The Russiagate became a
  subject conveniently fitted in the political narratives of both national capitals. In Moscow the
  belief has been that this case had been totally fabricated and fueled by anti-Russian sentiments
  in Washington. In the United States, there is little doubt that Russia has meddled with the
  elections and would do it again. Both sides used the case to advance their strategic domestic
  foreign policy narratives.
