Abstract
This research purports to investigate and to trace the history of the Russian meddling in
the American political scene and scrutinizes the authenticity of the used strategies
(propaganda, disinformation, and forgeries). It also attempts to examine KGB, GRU,
and Service A role during the Cold War and analyzing precisely precedent incidents.
Moreover, it proceeds to demonstrate the newly interference in political affairs during
the presidential elections of 2016 and the new techniques used by Russian intelligence.
The study aims at investigating the attempts of the Russian president and the Kremlin to
manipulate the American elections, by doing so; it traces additional tactics used by the
Russians (Cyber warfare) and its impact on the tone and results of the election. Lastly,
the research ends up with Russia Today, an official well-known TV channel whereby it
analyzes the ways it used in order to create images (undermine Hillary Clinton's
reputation as an example) and influencing the voters opinion.
