Summary/Abstract: The generalized spread of digital information technologies in all areas forms the basis of the changes of the security paradigms and their implementation in apparently disjoined aspects such as political revolutions like the Arab Spring and Euromaidan, the transformation of hacking into a weapon controlled by the state, the use of social networks in the strategies of electronic warfare. All these features are common for the great powers, but also for emerging states, having both an aggressive component as well as a defensive one of identification and annihilation of these attacks. The Russian Federation has developed an integrated system, which becomes obvious in a case study that we consider relevant in the analysis of its components for how it is centrally controlled.
