This publication argues that modern information technology now serves as a force multiplier on a scale never seen before. So, what should Western nations think of this text´s account of 1) Russia´s strategic use of disinformation 2) the Russian state´s close relationship with the nation´s media; 3) how Russian media strategy can exploit the vulnerabilities of liberal democratic media culture, and more? The author believes that one response should be for Western societies to build up greater ‘cognitive resilience’ within their societies.
