is a ubiquitous, viral narrative that dominates the corporate news cycle and penetrates many layers of popular discourse. From server hacking to BOT farms, from Facebook ads to Pokémon Go, Russia’s nefarious influence seems to reach everywhere. But despite
the multitude of claims, accusations of Russian influence have been dubious and have fallen apart over time.</span><br style="color: rgb(75, 79, 86); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">

C-U for a presentation that probes both the past and present for answers. We will be discussing post-Soviet relations between Eastern Europe and the West and how these events set the stage for the current political climate, the timeline of Russiagate events,
and the political utility of the Russiagate narrative and its consequences. A question and answer segment will follow.</span><br style="color: rgb(75, 79, 86); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">
