Moscow offered Washington to exchange letters about non-interference in each other's affairs, but the American side refused. On Wednesday, December 13, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said during a briefing. Her words are the official website of the agency. "Against the backdrop of the colossal hysteria that we see in Washington around some kind of mythical" Russia's role in the US elections, "in July the Russian side suggested that the Americans exchange letters with corresponding obligations, for example, at the level of foreign ministers," she said.. In this sphere, the diplomat noted, Russia did not invent anything new, "this is not some kind of revolutionary proposal or some kind of innovation". Zakharova recalled that such a principle was fixed during the restoration of diplomatic relations between the USSR and the US on November 16, 1933, and at the insistent request of the Americans themselves. Then the president of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, and the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, Maxim Litvinov, in Washington "exchanged personal notes, which spoke of the uncontested right of each country to arrange life within its territory at its own discretion". In her opinion, the current refusal of Americans to consider this proposal by Moscow "once again shows the absolute feykovost of the campaign for accusing Russia of some interference in last year's elections in the US". Zakharova believes that in this way Washington recognizes that there was nothing of this kind on the part of the Russian Federation. The Russian authorities regularly refute the accusations of the American special services in trying to influence the presidential elections in the US in 2016.
