HYBRID WARFARE IS A NEW SOCIO-CULTURAL PHENOMENON
https://doi.org/10.48137/23116412_2024_3_4
Abstract
The article attempts to conduct a critical analysis of existing approaches in Russian humanities to a relatively new socio–cultural phenomenon - hybrid warfare. The essence of the phenomenon considered in the article indicates that the forms of hybrid influence used in modern interstate confrontation have a negative impact on the worldview of citizens. This creates conditions under which the nature of the confrontation between states reaches a qualitatively different level – a hybrid conflict. The warring parties, in their choice of means of influencing the enemy, use new technologies that are primarily focused on the socio-cultural sphere. The analysis of the modern socio-cultural phenomenon of hybrid warfare conducted in the article suggests that the enemy determines the value sphere of a particular social education (people, population, communities), ethno-cultural and ethno-religious preferences of citizens as the most likely objects of influence.
