CONTEMPORARY INFORMATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS: TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODS OF COUNTERACTION
The strengthening of confrontation potential in all spheres of world politics demands the specification and conceptualization of contemporary forms and methods of waging informational and psychological wars. In the present work they are seen as a component of hybrid wars, where the clash of the sides takes place in the form of informational operations using informational weapons. The efficiency of an informational operation is determined by strict graduation of information sleazes and the periods of “informational silence”. Among the counteraction measures against the informational operations aimed at Russia it is proposed to speed up the elaboration of the concept of the ideological policy of the state. In such a concept “red lines” of the information front must be recorded and factors of the innovation evolution of the informational provision of the Russian state policy must be determined.
