Chess Players of Minds: The Impact of Information Warfare on Russian Strategic Culture

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to familiarize readers with three publications of key importance in trying to understand the character and mentality of Russians, whose authors are: Felix Koneczny, Włodzimierz Bączkowski, and Evgeny Messner. This will make it possible to show the sources of the information warfare currently conducted by the Russian Federation. The article presents the results of the research on the Turanian civiliza-tion, which, according to the description of Felix Koneczny, occurs in a similar form in the Russian Federation. It also characterizes the Russian power, showing that Russia is in fact far from European values. Russia’s way of thinking, strategic culture and policy are closer to Asian civilization. In addition, it was indicated that the information warfare is the basic form of fighting and the basis for building the power of the Russian state. The authors devote a separate place to the ‘rebel war’ (or ‘mutiny war’), according to the concept of Evgeny Messner, in which the line between the regular army and society is blurred. The authors came to the conclusion that the key to success in rebel warfare are effectively implemented infor-mation activities.
