Dekonstrukce konceptu aktivních opatření optikou informačního ovlivňováníRecenzované - Vědecký

Miroslava Pačková1
1 University of Defence

Studie dekonstruuje koncept aktivních opatření prizmatem informačního vlivu. Chápe jej jako sofistikované metody ovlivňování veřejného mínění a politických rozhodnutí, které původně používal Sovětský svaz a jež Ruská federace přizpůsobila kyberprostoru. V analýze je tento koncept konfrontován s obecnými abstrakcemi informačního vlivu s cílem lépe pochopit vztah aktivních opatření a podobných konceptů. Autorka dochází k závěru, že abstrakce informačního vlivu jsou platné i pro konceptuální pochopení a praktické příklady současných ruských aktivních opatření. Aktivní opatření jsou vůči informačnímu ovlivňování subsidiární a slouží jako taktický prostředek k dosažení strategických cílů druhého jmenovaného. Autorka dále uvádí, že informační prostředí je operační scénou pro aktivní opatření, kybernetické operace mohou být jeho projevem, informační operace hrají roli klíčové součásti širší strategie informačních operací a psychologické operace jsou jeho kritickým prvkem.

Klíčová slova: Informační vliv; aktivní opatření; Ruská federace

Active Measures Concept Deconstruction Through the Lenses of Information Influence

This study deconstructs the concept of active measures through the prism of information influence. It understands it as sophisticated methods of influencing public opinion and political decisions, originally used by the Soviet Union and now adapted to cyberspace by the Russian Federation. In the analysis, the concept is contrasted with the general abstraction of information influence. This helps to better understand the proximity of active measures to similar concepts. We conclude that abstractions of information influence are also valid for conceptual understanding and practical examples of contemporary Russian active measures. Active measures are subsidiary to information influence, serving as tactical means to achieve the latter's strategic goals. Furthermore, the author states that the information environment is the operational theatre for active operations, cyber operations can be its manifestation, information operations support as a key component of a broader information operations strategy, and psychological operations are its critical element.
