Russian Political Warfare Against Ukraine and its Allies in the West

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Studies of Russian propaganda and information war have mainly looked at methods. This paper looks at the pseudo-sciences behind Russian political warfare - at what Russians think or claim (in part in private) they are doing. The paper compares the cases of Moldova, Ukraine and the U.S.A., and argues that Russian methodology is based on domestic political technology and its desire for subjectivity control. Kinetic political warfare is possible in Moldova. While Russia is confined to secondary infection in Ukraine and the U.S.A., it is constantly seeking proxy control there too.
