Summary/Abstract: Since the end of the Cold War, polemics in scientific-research circles have continued to be about whether and to what extent the nature of the war has changed. As a kind of novel, concepts such as "new wars", "hybrid wars" appear in textbooks and lexicons dealing with security topics. In this way, these terms by its initiality point direct to an obvious and unequivocal difference between the wars sometimes and now, and those that will take place in the future. It is also noteworthy that in relation to this topic they crystallized even the so - two schools of thought. The first, radical-modernist who thinks that the notion of "war" is outdated, and that the academic, and especially the security apparatus must necessarily incorporate this new circumstance in its documents and adapt it to a contemporary (different) war. The other could be called traditionalism, and it promotes the thesis that the character of the war has changed while its nature has remained the same. Is the phenomenon so called hybrid wars novum, or is not? What is the viewing angle of those who most often use hybridity as a way of labeling in mutuall rhetoric of the great powers of the present day, United States (in the wider context of the West) and the Russian Federation? These are some of the questions that this paper argues trying to answer.
