Russia's policy on cyberspace.
Abstract
Russia's aggression against Ukraine in the framework of the hybrid warfare in the East of Ukraine, as well as Russia's actual attempts to dismantle the current international security system, due to this confrontation, causes increased attention to all elements of the security policy of Russia by other actors. Russia's policy is considered to be no exception in the plane of national and international cyberspace and their attempts to use it for their own benefit, thus forming a closed informational model of society and trying to impose the same model throughout the world.
Cybersecurity policy in Russia has several peculiarities that make up both the advantages and disadvantages of this policy. This approach, especially its foreign policy dimension, is based on the information security concept. It covers a wide range of content issues, including advocacy and psychological operations through information networks.
