Technologies of information warfare against Russia

The subject of this article is the technology of information warfare against Russia. The methodological basis of the research is the content analysis of scientific works on information wars and power relations. The object of information attacks against Russia are the ways to realize power, which include resources (human and material), a set of rules and regulations, remuneration and persuasion. As the examples from the modern press show, an imaginary or real information occasion aimed at one or more ways of realizing power precedes each information attack. The purpose of such attacks is to change the policy of the state (up to the change of the political regime), which meets the interests of western countries. The ideological background of information warfare technologies against Russia is such a manifestation of xenophobia as Russophobia.
