Manipulation of public opinion is an important factor in international information security and stability. For many years, the Russian Federation has been supporting the formation of an international information security regime that would combat the entire spectrum of threats in this area, including the problem of manipulating consciousness as an instrument of influencing public opinion and interfering in internal affairs. The monograph under review systematically examines Russia's foreign policy initiatives in this area and describes the impact of manipulation of public opinion on international information security and the national security of the Russian Federation.
