Active Measures Concept Deconstruction Through the Lenses of Information InfluenceReviewed - Research
Miroslava Pačková
Vojenské rozhledy / Czech Military Review Nr. 1/2024, Vol. XXXIII. (LXV.): 40-62
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.

We conclude that abstractions of information influence are also valid for conceptual understanding and practical examples of contemporary Russian active measures. Active measures are...

Pavel Žižka, Richard Saibert
Vojenské rozhledy / Czech Military Review Nr. 1/2024, Vol. XXXIII. (LXV.): 3-20
The article deals with the system of joint doctrine development in the Czech Armed Forces (CAF) focused on the operational level of command and control, including the implementation of the NATO doctrines into national conditions. Among others, it was found that the structure and content of the Czech doctrines are not systematically set. Allied doctrines are introduced either by rewriting them into the Czech version or by introducing them in the full English version. In both cases, it might cause inconsistency in military terminology. The Coordinating Committee as the only supervisory body does not have the authority to streamline the process of producing...
