The spy scandal and the expulsion of two Russian diplomats won’t affect Russian-Italian relations, experts interviewed by Izvestia said. Meanwhile, the Russian establishment notes that no matter how friendly Italy is, it is still part of NATO and maintains close allied relations with the United States. "The position of the US is well-known, the change of power in Washington has led not to a milder policy with regards to Moscow - and this was not expected - but to scathing and sometimes astonishing statements against it," First Deputy of Chairman the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov said. "Not a single EU country can ignore the position of the US and to one degree or another [each one] demonstrates its solidarity as part of the European-Atlantic bloc." However, according to experts, this incident is not going to ruin bilateral relations.
"We had cases of mutual expulsions of Russian and Western diplomats before, but this in no way affects Russian-Italian contacts," said Tatiana Zonova, professor at MGIMO University, Doctor of Political Science. "Certainly, these episodes don’t improve relations but basically the current situation won’t have any impact."
Experts also note that spy scandals - not only involving Russia - happen quite often in Italy. Given its geographical location, the republic "is at the intersection of all intelligence services" serving as NATO’s southern hub. Italy has become the alliance’s stronghold in the Mediterranean region.
Meanwhile, Elena Maslova, senior researcher at MGIMO, notes that the new government of Prime Minister Mario Draghi holds a more Euro-Atlantic position and his response could be harsher.
