Russian Influence Operations, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This volume examines the history and present of Russian influence operations and Russian intelligence agencies' tactics and strategies. It pays special attention to the terminology used by Soviet and Russian intelligence, their activities in the United States and Ukraine, as well as the global expansion of Russian covert operations over the last decade. The contributors demonstrate how Russia was able to effectively diversify its tactics, working in various domains. Russia's full-scale and genocidal war against Ukraine added another dimension to Russian active measures. Russian intelligence agencies design operations to blackmail, bribe, and coerce governmental officials and private companies to stop or disrupt military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. Russian agents create discord among NATO countries in order to compromise their unity and actions aiming to curtail Russian military activities in Ukraine. The volume's contributors-scholars and intelligence professionals-comprise: Olga Bertelsen, Stephen Blank, John A. Gentry, Sanshiro Hosaka, Sergei I. Zhuk, Nicolas M. Colosimo, Barry A. Zulauf, Kimberly Page, and Victor Rud
