Summary/Abstract: The Russian informational warfare in Ukraine was in part based on a hybrid multi-perspective strategy, derived from combining classical elements (old school) of the Soviet period with aspects pertained to neocortical warfare. The military confrontation within the Ukrainian territory are propagandistically perverted into “meaningful warfare”, meant to cover the humanitarian drama and Russian interests in the region with a “polylogical emotional fog” that relativizes and devalues the statements based on proof.
