The decline of humanist poetics. Faces of information warfare in hybrid conflict on the example of Russia’s 2022 war with Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to show the face of information warfare and the resulting threats in the cited armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In addition, it serves to present the overall manifestations of hybrid warfare, with an indication of specific examples from the ongoing war. In the article I will use works on the definitional analysis of hybrid and information warfare, as well as examples from the ongoing hybrid conflict of the Russian Federation with Ukraine. Modern hybrid conflicts are complex operations, distinguished by the use of a wide range of methods of affecting culture, society, economy, finance, history, human psyche and information. At the same time, they do not mean complete victory for any of the parties, given the fact that there is no guarantee of achieving all goals and interests in each of the mentioned dimensions. The most significant area of influence in hybrid warfare is information, which is a key tool for influencing people. Information manipulation and propaganda directly contribute to the destruction of human consciousness and the ability to think rationally.
