hybrid war(eng. hybrid warfare) - a term that appeared at the end of the 20th century. in the US to understand military strategy that combines conventional warfare and information warfare as a whole. It should be emphasized that there is no single and generally accepted definition in the world yet.
The very word "hybrid" means the use of several types of pressure at once (informational-ideological, financial-economic, etc.) on the enemy. At the same time, the actions of the armed forces constitute, although important, but only a part. The term “hybrid warfare” is interpreted quite broadly in the editorial preface of the Military Balance 2015 as “the use of military and non-military tools in an integrated campaign aimed at achieving surprise, seizing the initiative and obtaining psychological advantages using diplomatic opportunities; large-scale and rapid information, electronic and cyber operations; cover and concealment of military and reconnaissance activities; coupled with economic pressure."
From our point of view, the hybrid war methodology began to be developed in late XIX V. in the British Empire. She hoped to maintain her world power with the help of a complex of various, including secret, methods of warfare. To implement the idea of creating a British World Empire with a global imperial parliament in 1891, Cecil Rhodes, with the participation of Lords Balfour, Rothschild, Milner and Escher (friend and confidant of Queen Victoria, and later the closest adviser to Edward VII and George V), as well as William Thomas Stead (the most famous and sensational journalist of that time) created the society " Round table» (Round Table).
This society then participated in the creation of the "Council on Foreign Relations" in New York and the Royal Institute of International Studies in London. The history of the Round Table was well described by an American historian Carroll Quigley(1910–1977) in The Anglo-American Establishment, written in 1949 but not published until 1981.
One of the goals of the Round Table was to return the United States of America to the British Empire.. The main means of realizing this goal was creation of the Federal backup system(FRS). At the same time, the task was to weaken the Russian Empire (so that it could not help the United States), which in 1861-1864. provided assistance to the United States during civil war, sending two squadrons to New York and San Francisco to protect the northerners from the British fleet.
The FRS was created in 1913 after the financial crisis organized in 1907 by British intelligence through controlled American bankers. Then in the United States, with the help of the introduction of a system of relevant comments, it was formed public opinion in support of the idea of the need to create new financial structures to prevent such financial crises. Part of the strategic operation to create the Fed was the organization of victory in the presidential election. Woodrow Wilson. The Bank of England (a private bank established in 1694) secretly financed the election campaign of future US President Woodrow Wilson. The delicate assignments for the financing of Wilson's election campaign were carried out by Edward House, who was closely associated with British intelligence. The creation of the US Federal Reserve System (FRS) can be safely attributed to one of the first operations of a hybrid war in the financial and economic sphere. As a result of its implementation, the economic and financial systems of the United States gradually came under the complete control of a group of London bankers and politicians bought by them. The FRS was created on December 23, 1913, in accordance with the Federal Reserve Act passed by the US Congress. This was made possible by the coming to power of Woodrow Wilson, whose election was generously financed by British banking circles. US President Wilson's price for success was the passage of the Federal Reserve Act.
The February coup d'état of 1917, which led to the overthrow of the autocracy and the collapse of Russian Empire, can also be considered a successful operation of a hybrid war against Russia, carried out by the forces of Western Freemasonry and British intelligence MI6. It is no secret that the main perpetrators of the February coup d'état (Freemasons, Liberals and conspiring generals) were supported by the British and controlled from London. The modern Western hybrid war strategy began to develop within the framework of the so-called Cold War (1946-1991), unleashed against the USSR on the initiative of Winston Churchill. The Cold War was actually a hybrid war waged by the West against the USSR. During this war, large-scale subversive ideological and economic actions were carried out, “agents of influence” of the West were being formed in the Soviet elite, the USSR was purposefully drawn into an exhausting arms race, into the war in Afghanistan, etc.
The challenges and threats of subversive activities in the form of a hybrid war were not adequately assessed by the leadership of the USSR, which stubbornly prepared for a classic war and considered military force and nuclear deterrence as the basis for preserving state sovereignty. Some approaches to the methodology of hybrid warfare in the 1920s are described by our domestic military thinkers. Major General Alexander Svechin- "Russian Clausewitz" believed that the future war would unfold on numerous "fronts" - political, diplomatic, economic, etc. The idea of the complexity of the future war was defended in his works by Lieutenant General Andrey Snesarev, who emphasized that the periods free from armed struggle must be filled with "non-military operations". In them, “strategy works not with a sword, but with other means, even if they are strangers: agitation, crushing the enemy economy, overtaking in recreating one’s own forces, etc.” The approach proposed by the colonel of the Russian General Staff is also interesting. Evgeny Messner, who, in exile after the Second World War, wrote that during the “mutiny war” they fight not only with regular troops, but also with irregular forces (aggressive diplomacy, oil weapons, pornography weapons, drug weapons, brainwashing weapons, terror). However, these approaches were not developed in the USSR.
As part of the West's strategy of hybrid warfare, a system of economic sanctions directed against the USSR operated. For the purpose of export control over goods and technologies prohibited for import into the USSR and the states Warsaw Pact, NATO countries and Japan in 1949, the Coordinating Committee for Export Control (COCOM) was created. Its task was to ensure a controlled technological backwardness of the USSR. In fact, in 2014, after the reunification of Crimea with Russia, the West applied sanctions against Russia similar to those that had been in effect for many years against the USSR. Targeted manipulation of energy prices was also an important technology of the West's hybrid war against the USSR. In 2016, everything repeats itself, only hybrid war operations to purposefully reduce the price of oil are being carried out against Russia.
In the late 1980s, with powerful organizational, financial, informational support from abroad, bloody conflicts broke out on the territory of the USSR. The leadership of the USSR turned out to be unable to resist unarmed aggression against the country and prevent its destruction in 1991. The General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee played an extremely negative role in the process of the destruction of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev, who could not or did not want to counteract the hybrid war of the West.
Today, a powerful blow to the supply system national security Russia and stability in Eurasia were caused by color revolutions in Ukraine and the Middle East, bringing chaos. The development of the geopolitical situation, negative for Russia, became possible as a result of the active and skillful use by the West of modern information technologies in order to reformat the consciousness and behavior of a significant part of the population of Ukraine and the countries of the Middle East. On the other hand, imperfection Russian system forecasting, assessing the situation in strategically important regions of the world and anti-crisis response resulted in the absence of any significant pre-emptive counteraction to Western activity in Ukraine.
The starting point for developing the concept of using terrorism as a special technology of hybrid war was a secret NATO project created after the Second World War by British intelligence MI6 and the CIA. In NATO member countries, in parallel with regular armies alliance appeared secret armies of NATO (also called “stay-behind” or “Gladio" (Latin gladio - sword)). These secret NATO armies were directed and coordinated by a secret security committee at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. Representatives of the secret armies gathered together every year. MI6 and the CIA financed the creation and operation of these clandestine subversive groups, trained them and planted caches of weapons and explosives. For example, the Italian secret army of NATO waged a secret war against the Italian communists (PCI) and socialists (PSI), committing bloody acts of terrorism. So, shortly before Christmas 1969, four bombs exploded in the busy squares of Rome and Milan, killing 16 people. The communists were specifically blamed for this bloody atrocity. In 1972, a car bomb exploded near the Italian village of Peteano, killing three carabinieri. Two days later, the police received an anonymous tip that the perpetrators were members of the Red Brigades. In 1974, a bomb exploded in the middle of an anti-fascist demonstration, killing eight and wounding 102. In August 1974, another bomb exploded on the Italian Express train from Rome to Munich. 12 people were killed and 48 were injured. At the station in Bologna on August 2, 1980, there was a terrorist attack in which 85 people were killed and 200 were injured. The media and politicians announced the supporters of the "Red Brigades" as the organizers of the attack.
The development of the Gladio project took place in Afghanistan, where the main ideologist of the hybrid war of the West against the USSR Russophobe Zbigniew Brzezinski managed to pull Soviet Army. MI6 and the CIA have established a focal point for the international Islamist terrorist movement to combat Soviet troops in Afghanistan. This is how Al-Qaeda appeared, uniting mercenaries from 43 countries. The ensuing ten-year war with the Mujahideen was one of the reasons for the defeat Soviet Union V cold war. It was with the organizational and financial support of Western intelligence that an organization arose that coordinated the transfer of veterans of the Afghan war who remained out of work around the world. Subsequently, al-Qaeda successfully directed Islamic fanatics with combat experience to North Caucasus, to Algeria, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Syria (where, based on the experience of Al-Qaeda, ISIS was created). What happened to them after the collapse of the USSR? All of them remained in service. As before, they carry out terrorist actions "under a false flag" in those countries that do not want to voluntarily accept the rules of globalization. The mechanism is simple: first, "terrorists" destabilize the situation in the country to the limit, and then US and NATO troops arrive there to assist in the fight against terrorists and conduct stabilization operations. Such a scenario was thwarted in Syria.
However, the Afghan war had another important outcome: the West gained invaluable experience in organizing and conducting irregular military operations against one of the strongest modern armies. The world was then entering the information age. Further developments showed that information wars are the core of hybrid warfare. As a result of studying the Afghan experience, Western analysts have built a simple and clear algorithm for conducting a hybrid war to implement the idea of complete Western dominance in the world:
If a country does not accept the Western rules of the game, then a revolution begins, for a start, a color one;
If the authorities capitulate, they are replaced by a pro-Western regime;
If the authorities resist, a military operation begins; various anti-government organizations and rebel movements are activated in the country, which either overthrow the government themselves, or the United States and NATO come to them.
figuratively said Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting of the Russian Security Council on July 22, 2014: “Unwanted regimes, countries that pursue an independent policy or simply stand in the way of someone's interests, are destabilized. To do this, the so-called color revolutions are used, and if you call a spade a spade - just coup d'état, provoked and financed from outside. Of course, the emphasis is on problems within countries.”
It should be recalled that the first stage of the war in Syria was just the "color revolution" a few years ago. But the people of Syria rallied around their president. And it was then that the second stage began - the armed aggression of ISIS terrorists. The strengthening of the Russian military presence in Syria is a forced response in connection with the large-scale terrorist aggression of ISIS against the people of Syria with the covert support of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Western states. It must be clearly understood that the ISIS project is aimed against Russia, created by Western intelligence services - MI-6, the CIA and is integral part plan for conducting a hybrid war against our country. These circumstances require the Russian Federation to carry out skillful information and psychological support for the military presence in Syria, as well as to take active and effective measures to counteract the hybrid war being waged by the West against Russia.
Hybrid warfare is a combination of methods of military-force, political-diplomatic, financial-economic, information-psychological and information-technical pressure, as well as technologies of color revolutions, terrorism and extremism, activities of special services, force formations special purpose, special operations forces and structures of public diplomacy, carried out according to a single plan by the governing bodies of the state, the military-political bloc or TNCs.
The goals of a hybrid war are the complete or partial disintegration of the state, a qualitative change in its domestic or foreign policy, the replacement of the state leadership with loyal regimes, the establishment of external ideological and financial and economic control over the country, its chaos and subordination to dictate by other states or TNCs.
feature modern stage development international relations is a powerful political, informational and economic pressure from the West against Russia, which is an integral part of the Western strategy of hybrid war aimed at the disintegration of the Eurasian space, creating chaos and instability in Eurasia.
The hybrid war strategy has been developed by the US and NATO for many years. As a new element of the war, the strengthening of the influence on the preparation, course and outcome of a global war of a combination of elements of the military and irregular components is considered. In the 21st century in international relations there was a transformation of the concept of "power". NATO's hybrid war strategy assumes the dominance of "soft power" tools and is aimed at the disintegration of the Eurasian space, creating chaos and instability in the states neighboring Russia using the technologies of color revolutions, information warfare, terrorism and extremism, financial and economic pressure, military coercion . In the final declaration of the NATO summit held in Scotland in September 2014, for the first time at the official level, it was stated that the alliance needed to be prepared to participate in a new type of war - hybrid wars. And in December 2015, at the summit of NATO foreign ministers, a new hybrid war strategy was adopted.
The military-political potential of Russia should fit into a combination of "soft power" and "hard power": it is necessary to be able to interact with public diplomacy structures, non-governmental organizations, international institutions that use the levers of political, economic and informational influence, including special operations forces.
Part of the military-political elite of Russia understands the degree of danger of the threats of a hybrid war against Russia. This is evidenced by the speech at the annual meeting of the Academy of Military Sciences on February 27, 2016 by the head General Staff RF Armed Forces General of the Army Valeria Gerasimova about the features of modern wars, which are of a hybrid nature, their integral part is color revolutions and events in the format of soft power. He drew attention to the fact that "indirect and asymmetric actions and methods of conducting hybrid wars make it possible to deprive the opposing side of actual sovereignty without seizing the territory of the state." At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that no systemic conclusions have yet been drawn from the tragic lessons of the collapse of the Russian Empire in February 1917 and the USSR in 1991.
Thus, as part of the implementation of Russia's national security strategy of December 31, 2015, it is important to take into account the tendency to blur the distinction between the state of war and peace. Non-military information and ideological methods of influence using the protest potential of the population are increasingly being used. These means of struggle are complemented by covert military measures, including information warfare and the actions of special operations forces.
Important tools in the practice of conducting hybrid wars are:
information operations, carried out with the aim of influencing the state and military control bodies of the enemy in order to mislead him, disrupt the exchange of data and provoke him to make decisions that are beneficial to him;
psychological operations aimed at suppressing the moral and psychological state of the population and the fighting spirit of the personnel of the enemy's Armed Forces, creating an atmosphere of distrust in society and shaping motivation for destructive actions;
cyber attacks on state and commercial infrastructure in order to disable or hinder the operation of critical enemy facilities, as well as gain unauthorized access to "sensitive" information;
economic sanctions, termination of investment;
ethnic weapons;
Organizational, financial and informational support for opposition movements, destructive actions of "agents of influence" embedded in the power structures.
The main principles of hybrid warfare are strategic planning, coordination, interaction, timeliness, surprise and stealth.
Under these conditions, it is proposed to direct Russia's efforts in the following areas:
1.Creation of a new organizational structure (Bureau of Counter-Hybrid War), which has advanced points for carrying out countermeasures (Smolensk, Pskov, Rostov-on-Don, Vladikavkaz, Sevastopol, Yekaterinburg, Vladivostok).
2. Development Russian strategy counter-hybrid war.
3. Formation of the foundations of the state system for countering hybrid warfare operations against the leadership and population of Russia. Creation in the structure of special operations forces of the Armed Forces of Russia and special services of units for conducting information and psychological operations.
4. Creation of Russian national legislation aimed at counteracting hybrid warfare technologies, primarily color revolutions.
5. Revealing, diagnosing and blocking the activities of negative communicators seeking to undermine Russia's information sovereignty. Conduct ongoing monitoring of the blogosphere and social networks in order to block the dissemination in the Russian information space of negative information aimed at promoting extremism and terrorism, ethnic and religious hatred.
6. Preventive blocking of all channels(financial, informational, organizational) and structures of foreign and oligarchic assistance to the radical and extremist opposition in Russia.
7. Activation of information exchange and international cooperation with allies in the military, financial, economic, information and psychological spheres to take the necessary measures to identify and repel threats to Russia's security.
8. Systematic and targeted neutralization of hybrid warfare operations conducted against Russia.

Conclusion
Former KGB officer and well-known political scientist about who wants to take over the world and on whose side Natalya Poklonskaya plays
The hybrid war methodology was born in the British Empire, while Leon Trotsky and Adolf Hitler acted in the interests of London, according to writer and political scientist, former intelligence officer Igor Panarin. About how his new book, recently presented in Moscow, is designed to arm Russia against its eternal "Anglo-Saxon enemies", why Trump has "iron nerves" and what damage the last chairman of the KGB of the USSR inflicted on the country - in the material "BUSINESS Online".
Igor Panarin's book, presented in Moscow, is designed to arm Russia against its eternal "Anglo-Saxon enemies"
“DAYS BEFORE VLADIMIR PUTIN’S BIRTHDAY, 120 THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE EVACUED IN MOSCOW”“On November 8, the NATO alliance announced the creation of a cyber operations center. Thus done new step in developing the concept of a hybrid war,” warns political scientist and full member of the Academy of Military Sciences Igor Panarin. He spoke about what the theory of covert operations and sabotage looks like today in the recently published book “Hybrid Warfare: Theory and Practice”. The presentation of this solid work took place in Moscow at the School of Common Sense. Among the listeners of the lecture, which lasted more than two and a half hours, was the correspondent of "BUSINESS Online".
According to Panarin, on March 9, 2014, 16 officers from the NATO cyber center arrived in Kyiv to organize on the spot Information Support. “Of course, we must understand that this system will only develop against us,” the political scientist believes, adding that three years ago we suffered an ideological defeat in Ukraine, but reunification with Crimea is “a great success.”
“Despite our shortcomings in this information area, we have had several major events”, - Panarin believes, placing in this series not only the annexation of the peninsula, but also the “war of 08.08.08”, that is, “the actions of the Russian Federation against the aggression of Mikheil Saakashvili in 2008”, as well as the successful, from his point of view, Syrian campaign.
"Nest Daesh ( Arabic name for the ISIS group banned in the Russian Federation- approx. ed. ), which was intended to later terroristically rip Russia apart from the Caucasus and Central Asia, was eliminated,” the speaker said. According to Panarin, the so-called DAISH is a weapon of the hybrid war of the Anglo-Saxon world against Eurasia.
The narrator also called telephone terrorism a component of the hybrid war, noting that Last year there has been an increase in terrorist activity in the world. For example, the day before your birthday Vladimir Putin, which was celebrated on October 7, 120 thousand people were evacuated in Moscow (from hospitals, universities and shopping centers). And on November 5, people from GUM, the Bolshoi Theater and the Metropol Hotel were evacuated. A total of 3.5 thousand people had to be withdrawn from the Bolshoi Theater. On November 5, 360 people were detained in the capital. “November 5 is Military Intelligence Day. I think that the choice of this date is not accidental,” concluded Panarin.
Panarin called telephone terrorism a component of the hybrid war, noting that over the past year there has been an increase in terrorist activity in the world.
As for classical terror, Panarin cited figures on this score: in 2016, a total of 249 terrorist attacks occurred in the world, and by the current moment in 2017 - already 380. Of these, in 2016, 55 terrorist attacks occurred in Afghanistan, and in this year already 165, that is, almost three times more. “This is despite the fact that there are NATO troops in Afghanistan, allegedly sent there to stabilize the situation. The fact that the situation in Afghanistan is getting worse does not bode well for us,” the scientist stated sadly.
The political scientist believes that not only the NATO military-political bloc, but also transnational corporations are involved in the hybrid war. As the goals of the hybrid war, the speaker singled out the disintegration of the state, a change in foreign policy, the replacement of leadership with loyal regimes and the establishment of control by other states or transnational corporations. By the way, Panarin conducted a study this summer, as a result of which he found out that 76 percent of people believe that the main weapon of a hybrid war is disinformation. “Information warfare is the core of hybrid warfare. But nevertheless, terrorism, and extremism, and many other components are included in the hybrid war,” said the doctor of political sciences.
“Hush, hush, hush,” the leader of the School of Common Sense tried to calm the audience. By the middle of the lecture, people had already begun to actively talk among themselves, apparently thinking what question to ask Panarin after his long monologue about the hybrid war.
The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, won the election in a "tough information war using new technologies"
“IN SUCH SCORES, TRUMP SHOULD HAVE IRON NERVES”
The political scientist believes that we are lagging behind the West in the theory and practice of hybrid warfare and, in particular, connects this with the fact that we drew up our own doctrine later than the Americans information security (new version approved by presidential decree of December 5, 2016- approx. ed. ). “Russia is different in that we had the first such doctrine in 2000,” explains Panarin. - I was directly involved in its development. The text was ready already in 1997, and only Putin signed it. This is his merit."
“1992 is their [Western] directive on this matter,” Panarin calculates the steps of competitors. - Then 1998 - the doctrine of information operations. They first introduced the concept of defensive and offensive information operations there. Offensive information operations can also be carried out in peacetime. Here is the main conclusion. In 2006, they already had an emphasis on the Internet.” According to the writer, the role of social networks is still underestimated in our country, although this item should have been included in the new version of the doctrine.
Currently, new technologies will be introduced into the system state structures United States, says Panarin, noting that the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, won the election in a "tough information war using new technologies." Panarin generally expressed admiration for Trump's use of social media and the internet as tools to win the election. In his opinion, he did it all right, realizing that all the global media are against him. He also said that he was initially confident that Mr. Donald would win the election.
“I participated in various talk shows and argued with Michael Bohm ( American journalist and political commentator, known as the "Whipping Yankee" on Russian television- approx. ed. who will win the election. He told me, “You don't know America. Clinton will win. There's not even anything to say." The only thing I regret is that I did not argue with him for something material. I told him that Trump would win. And Bom later admitted his defeat, ”said Panarin.
“The assessment of Trump as a kind of voluntarist who accidentally took the presidency does not correspond to reality,” the political scientist is sure. - I will recall the moment of the inauguration of the President of the United States, when CNN comes out officially with a “hypothesis” within a day that Trump will be shot during the ceremony. In such scenarios, you need to have iron nerves in order to carry it all out. The second is that Trump has allocated 5 times more financial resources to work in social networks. Despite the fact that his total financial budget was half that of Clinton. Trump, in fact, outplayed Clinton in her field and provided access to the information field through Twitter, bypassing the global media, which all supported Clinton.
According to Panarin, Trump's main idea was to quickly reform the intelligence community. But it could only be carried out by the former director of intelligence for the US Department of Defense, Michael Flynn. “Smart, tough and loyal to Russia,” the writer emphasizes. - Trump's mistake is that he removed it. Trump thought that if he fired Flynn, he would be left behind. Trump went along with them, but he did not break, from my point of view. Counterplay on the liberal field characterizes him as a fighter, as a person who will pursue his own line.
In December 1991, Vadim Bakatin handed over to the United States all the wiretap circuits that were in the American embassy in Moscow.
HOW THE FORMER KGB CHAIRMAN OF THE USSR BETRAYED HIS COUNTRY
We created a media system similar to the American CNN only in 2005, says Panarin. Meanwhile, CNN was founded back in 1980. “Didn't the USSR have the money to create a similar media system? - the political scientist asks a rhetorical question. “Our journalists, who receive a lot of money from state resources, while abroad, are not at all engaged in building a state-information line, that is, no one controls them and does not build them into a single system.”
However, according to Panarin, in the summer of 2016 we carried out a successful counter-hybrid war operation to thwart a military coup in Turkey. “The main objective of this coup was to stop the transit of our cargo through the strait. Then our Syrian campaign would have ended in complete failure. But we managed to prevent a coup, save Recep Erdogan, who continues to move from left to right. But the regime that could replace it would be absolutely anti-Russian, and for us it would be a threat,” the political scientist believes.
But we must understand that in our history there were both triumphs and negative moments, Panarin noted, talking about the scandalous act of the last KGB chairman Vadim Bakatin. In December 1991, Bakatin, who at that time served as head of the inter-republican security service ( structure created after the August coup as a result of the reform of the KGB- approx. ed. ), handed over to the United States all the circuits of listening devices located in the American embassy in Moscow. Thus, according to Panarin, Bakatin inflicted enormous damage on the entire intelligence network of the country.
“Do we have many documents about the betrayal of Bakatin? - the political scientist reflects. - Do we have an invoice that indicates that he betrayed us and handed over our entire reconnaissance and technical network? He hasn't even been convicted yet. Nevertheless, the damage that Bakatin inflicted on our entire technical intelligence and the intelligence network as a whole is, of course, disastrous for decades. By that time, our technical intelligence was ahead of the Americans. Comrade Bakatin came to the American embassy with technical documentation, and the Americans could not believe it and called a commission from the United States in order to understand whether this was some kind of disinformation operation or a reality,” Panarin said.
In order to start catching up with the West in terms of hybrid warfare technology, Panarin proposed the creation of a coordinating and expert analytical council, similar to the US national intelligence council created in 1979. “It is of fundamental importance that this national council publishes public reports and sets the information agenda. In order to get ahead of us in this hybrid war of the adversary, we need to publish three reports every four years, not once every four years, thus forming the information agenda. - calls Panarin. - The second is the formation of the Internet and television, at least with weekly releases of reviews of the current situation, as well as social networks. The third is the formation of a special non-profit organization in the form of a foundation. The American analogue is Stratfor. This private intelligence company periodically throws in various materials - informational, disinformation."
"Our enemies are the London-based global oligarchy that is trying to take over the world and impose values that are alien to us"
"RUSSIA'S MAIN ENEMY IN THE HYBRID WAR - LONDON"
After an hour-long lecture, Panarin answered all the questions of the audience. Among the questioners was the well-known political scientist Andrey Devyatov. “Igor Nikolayevich is already tense,” Panarin said about himself and smiled when Devyatov stood up. "Nebopolitik" asked Panarin which team, in his opinion, he plays Natalia Poklonskaya in this hybrid war - enemies or allies. “This is not a topic of discussion on which side Poklonskaya is on,” the speaker responded. - I think that she has her own perception, there are probably some advantages and disadvantages. But the contribution that she made at a decisive moment in the events of 2014 deserves respect. I think that over time, the information husk will disappear.”
During the lecture, Panarin talked a lot about London. In particular, he called the revolutionary Leon Trotsky an agent of MI6, and Adolf Hitler - an agent and nominees of the British Empire, who implemented the tasks of Great Britain. “The methodology of hybrid warfare was born in the British Empire, but finally formed with the help of the British Round Table Society in 1891,” said the political scientist. - The February coup d'état, by the way, was carried out and successfully carried out by the forces of British intelligence, the Round Table Society and the forces of Western Freemasonry. The attack on the USSR in 1941 was also caused by London intrigues.
London Panarin considers "Russia's main enemy in a hybrid war." “There is a group of people who want to own the world,” Panarin believes. - And they have achieved a lot in this. If the territory of the USSR was 22 million kilometers, then the territory of the British Empire was 36 million kilometers. These people simply cannot finally take over the world as long as our civilization exists. Therefore, our enemies are in London. Over time, London began to accumulate the spirit of a civilization of profit. Our enemies are the London-based global oligarchy that is trying to take over the world and impose values that are alien to us.”
However, within the American community, as well as in Germany and France, Russia has allies in a hybrid war, says the writer, for whom Trump's victory is a victory for conservative values. “Our allies are those forces that stand for the family. I mean the relationship between people, kindness,” said Panarin.
Panarin was also asked what the image of victory in a hybrid war looks like in his mind. “For me, the image of victory is the fall of London on May 9, 2020,” the political scientist, true to himself, replied. - If our Russian special operations forces march through London on May 9, it will be an image of victory for me. It’s hard to imagine yet, but we need to strive for it.”
After the lecture, many listeners rushed to buy new book Panarin, but it (worth more than 500 rubles) was snapped up in a few minutes. Therefore, some had to purchase Panarin's previous book, Hybrid War Against Russia, instead. The author himself was signing autographs for 20 minutes after the end of the lecture.
