Summary / Abstract (Note) | The West firmly linked the concept of ‘hybrid war’ to Russia after it had reincorporated Crimea. This happened largely due to the myth that Russia had a special strategy of confrontation known as the “Gerasimov Doctrine.” Its existence has already been denied by the authors of the myth themselves. But the “Gerasimov Doctrine” story is quite indicative: a similar U.S. hybrid war strategy was passed off as the Russian one. The main features of this strategy have been studied by the Russian military and politicians through the lens of “color revolutions” of the 2000s and the Arab Spring of the early 2010s. |
