Summary/Abstract: The article aims at examining the theory of reflexive control as it was developed during the USSR, the time of its emergence, and the transformation or how it has been adapted in the current international context. Nowadays, innovations in this field are quite scarce, we can talk more about adapting to the user’s needs or requests. For this, they are analizing hystorical, ideological and psychosocial factors that contributed to the emergence of this theory. The article is a first step towards a more-indepth study of the theory of reflexive control, as a basic element of the hybrid / non-linear war. It is expected that this material will raise interest, dialogue, differences of opinion and even controversies on this subject.
