A round table with Andreï Soldatov, and Irina Borogan, journalists, respectively Editor-in-chief and Deputy Editor-in-chief of Agentura.ru
The nature of Russia’s resort to cyber and information instruments reflects a specific conception of the Internet. Conceived of as Moscow’s asymmetric response to the West’s conventional superiority, the use of cyber through hackers and trolls seems to be now mastered and well institutionalized within the Russian security and defense apparatus. Contributing to blurring internal and external threats, cyber will continue to be used by Russia in its relations with the West while imposing itself as a significant « resource » in the hands of the Kremlin.
Chair: Tatiana KASTOUÉVA-JEAN, Head of Ifri’s Russia/NIS Center
This seminar will be held in Russian and French (with simultaneous Russian-French translation) under the Rule of Chatham House.
