The concept of information geopolitics is subject to definition. An analysis of the catalog of factors determining thenew dimension of Russian geopolitics, including cyberspace and information policy, is undertaken. The authors consider the importance of the cybernetic factor and the participation of information sovereignty in shaping the international image of the Russian Federation, to then diagnose their impact on the sphere of international security.
