I usually use quotes like this:
feminisms such as “globalization”, “obstruction”
rization".
"Information war: confrontation between
states in the field of information with a view to
harm to information systems
mom... and besides, undermining the political
koy, economic and social systems, and
also mass psychological manipulation
control of the population for the purpose of destabilizing
"to create society and the state."
This is not a quote from some Bolshevik
th leadership on the organization of global re-
revolution. Wasn't this a condensed definition?
invented by “Uncle Joe” Stalin. And it
does not even originate from the government
old people's conference, which was headed by Le-
onid Brezhnev.
No, it belongs to the Russian president
dent Putin, a former KGB officer, co-
who feels so free in
the Internet era, which proposes to create
special email, by which
leaders of different states could communicate

"Information weapon", "information
war", "threat to information security-
news", "international information
terrorism", "international information
crime" - in these terms pstreet
a document entitled, apparently, notwithout irony Information policy tomorrow
tomorrow."
According to the new approach, no one
acknowledges the authorship of this classic
th treatise on Russian paranoia. Pony-
Does the author know that statements of this kind
are DIRECT CONFIRMATION of the "theory"
clashes of civilizations, because, in essence,
this is a reproach of DISSENT. But it happens to me -
rumor that the author is someone Sherstyuk
from the influential Security Council,
headed by Mr.'s best friend
Putin in the government by Sergei Ivanov,
another KGB veteran.
It is worth reading this document carefully -
her. Among the recommendations it makes
there is, for example, a call for a ban on the “intent”
effective use of information for
knowledge of the influence on vital structures
ry of another state" and recognition of "the
roses of information weapon use
... which is comparable to the threat of use
weapons of mass destruction."
It is noteworthy that while the above-
the named categories are defined to the smallest extent
the smallest details, not a single
new attempt to define the “in-
formation" and why it is needed. Instead
This document puts forward the idea that
information is by no means a common good and
not the key to future prosperity
countries, AND A TERRIBLE SECURITY THREAT
RUSSIA, which cannot be destroyed,
then you need to at least control it.
However, the true importance of thisdocument
lies in the influence of its authors
and that touching naivety. with which
they put him forward as Russian
contribution to the conference via mass media
howl of information that took place in the past month
syatse in Poland. _
There is no doubt that in the West there are
there are many experts concerned about issues
information, computer viruses, "cy-
bombs" and protection of "vital"
structures from sabotage. But it is believed that
such people do not have much influence on
"tomorrow" (if such exists)
their governments' policies regarding
Media. Please note, purely TECHNICAL
APPROACH, ideology is SILENT.
And the question arises: if Russia believes
this nonsense is harmless enough to
send him to international seminars,
then what strange and amazing documents
nice notes about the media
information is scribbled by apparatchiks and employees
secret police nicknames classified as "only
for limited use"?
Some clarity emerged after several
what information leaks last week,
from which it became known that the government

The media sang along.
However, we can judge the authorities by the
what they do, and not just because of what they do
what they claim inhearing everything and about what
hinted eye to eye. If this is said
shout loudly on TV, then IBM PC
the platform will simply be destroyed. For example, when
European luminaries gathered in Krakow
to discuss complex information
problems, the head of the largest Russian non-
dependent media empire Vladimir Gusinsky
sat in a Moscow prison for a rather un-
convincing accusation of fraud.
Mr. Gusinsky was soon released, but
in the Kremlin now the battle cry is “take
Goose" (his nickname). His tormentors from
the prosecutor's office even confiscated the award
the pistol given to him by the government for
services to democracy.
As for the Internet, Russia has developed

read all messages in email,
but also to force network service providers

In Russia there is a wonderful tradition of
to introduce the world to high-end computer
hackers and brilliant programmers, victims
you and the consequences of mass TECHNOCRATIC
WHOM psychosis. However, the powers that be
do not have much sympathy for information,
they are disgusted by the very idea that she could
be accessible to too many of their fellow
citizens Rave. The danger isfor-
the power of American ideas. (see budget
media). "Mass psychological manipulation"
population control" is what they
achieved success: all you had to do was look
sound like state television
broadcast the recent elections in Russia and
new war in Chechnya.
And yet they are gripped by anxiety, blah-
shuddering fear that they
considered masterful manipulation of in-
formation, see article about Lukashenko - “You
following" carried out by NATO during
number of air strikes on Yugoslavia and
this they realize that Russia’s attempts
present your own version of the event
in Chechnya were often so deep
remember that they led to the opposite
effect.
Moreover, the majority of Russians, especially
those who grew up during the Soviet period on mark-
sistic "disciplines", share the theory
"clash of civilizations"
