This book cuts through the misunderstandings about Russia's
geopolitical challenge to the West, presenting this not as 'hybrid
war' but 'political war.' Russia seeks to antagonise: its diplomats
castigate Western 'Russophobia' and cultivate populist sentiment
abroad, while its media sells Russia as a peaceable neighbour and a
bastion of traditional social values. Its spies snoop, and even
kill, and its hackers and trolls mount a 24/7 onslaught on Western
systems and discourses. This is generally characterised as 'hybrid
war,' but this is a misunderstanding of Russian strategy. Drawing
extensively not just on their writings but also decades of
interactions with Russian military, security and government
officials, this study demonstrates that the Kremlin has updated
traditional forms of non-military 'political war' for the modern
world. Aware that the West, if united, is vastly richer and
stronger, Putin is seeking to divide, and distract, in the hope it
will either accept his claim to Russia's great-power status - or at
least be unable to prevent him. In the process, Russia may be
foreshadowing how the very nature of war is changing: political war
may be the future. This book will be of much interest to students
of strategic studies, war studies, Russian politics and security
studies.
