Abstract
The paper is dedicated to substantiation of the starting positions for determining the theoretical and methodological foundations for the system of information and psychological protection of the Armed Forces as an object of development and military sociological analysis. This study is the first in a planned series of articles devoted to this problem, as well as the beginning of a scientific discussion about the conceptual foundations for improving the “traditional” mechanisms for ensuring the information security of the Russian army and sociological support for the implementation of this process. As a result of the analysis, the author determines the essence and functional role of the information war as an information and psychological component of the hybrid war strategy, and reveals its structural elements as a process of implementation of communicative practices by competing subjects of world politics at various levels. Based on the analysis of modern methods and mechanisms of damaging information and psychological impact, the following are determined: (1) levels (contours) of the protection system against these threats and (2) security objects corresponding to these levels, the state of which may be the subject of military sociological analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of protection measures.
