Seventeenth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences

Abstract

The problem of disinformation and propaganda is not a new phenomenon, but the Russian-Ukrainian war brings it closer to us in a slightly new version. The use of cybertechnics is an important element of the ongoing war. The flow of information, and in the case of the Russian citizens, the lack of information or misinformation in some other pro-Russian countries, has a huge impact on the social attitude of citizens of different states. The analysis of examples of the usage of various tools for creating false information messages shows that the application of appropriate narratives is an important factor in hybrid war. The aim of the author is to show the threats posed by the use of these techniques for international security and how it influences the changing social relations.
