Summary/Abstract: Along with western strategists, Russia made a great contribution to developing hybrid war doctrine; highlighting and justifying most of the tested tactics in strategically important state documents such as National Security Strategy, Foreign Policy Concept and Military Doctrine. The theoretical background was “successfully” implemented by Russia during the military operations in Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorny Karabakh, Transnistria; but the practical implementation of the complex of tools was demonstrated by invasion into Ukrainian territory, especially the illegal annexation of Crimean Peninsula. Changing a global security conjuncture by Russia turned “hybrid warfare” in a real threat to an overall stability.
