Introduction

social network information warfare

In my work I have consider information wars and social networks. Information warfare is dangerous threat to the state which usually occur in social networks.

The term "information warfare" appeared in 1970. His invented scientist Ron Thomas. Information wars are long, but today, they are especially dangerous.

According to N. Podosokorskye (2012, p.14) Recent events in Russia, due to the unprecedented mass (early 90s), the participation of people in street protests for fair elections, many experts rightly connected with strengthening the role of social networks in the real life of society. Not by chance the main grounds for the unification of the protesters and dissidents do not become legally registered organizations and their websites on the internet, and many communities in blogs and social networks created by seemingly ordinary people. "Network hamsters" demonstrated the power and danger of social media, their opportunities for union members with a variety of interests and concerns. Owners and technical developers most popular social services such as "In Touch", Facebook or LiveJournal, figures appear equal in influence of federal and international politics. Not for nothing, on the Internet at one time had circulated a joke: "2024: US President Mark Zuckerberg congratulated on his birthday Russian President Pavel Durov and gave him a radio for the soul. "

Rastorgouev S. P. (2004, p.3) first proposed the same human community to consider the essence of the information war from different sides, defining goals, objectives, algorithms, strategies and tactics of information warfare, basing sufficiently rigorous mathematical justification and his theory destroys the structure (CP-nets).

The discussion S. V. Tkachenko, (1996) for example, argues that Russia is under Information blow. Thanks to the victory in the Cold War, the West first gained access to natural resources. That is why the Western countries will make every effort to strengthen its dominance over Russia. Escape from the grip of these at the moment impossible. However, realize that they choke and strangle intentionally - necessary. Only then will be able to effectively counter the enemies of Russia in the information war. Today the struggle for territory and remain in it's natural resources in the first place means a struggle for the minds and souls of the people who inhabit it. This is the information war to win it all means. However, the country in which the political and intellectual elite is not aware of national interests, or worse, deliberately neglects them, doomed to defeat. Many "researchers" intricately scoff Russian people and its history. State authority refuses to recognize the Russian national culture, preferring only to Western values. At the same time in the US, for example, the protection of their traditional values always been presented to American politicians as one of the cornerstones of national security, "American values", "American democracy", "American way of life", etc. Experts explain that the information war - a war of a new type, the object of which is the consciousness of the people. It is based on the ability to manage and manipulate the public consciousness, the subordination of human will. For information rebuff aggression must first understanding of current events - stress and V. A. Lisichkin L. A. Shelepin. Publicist T. Mironova wonders why relaxation of mind and will in the Russian people's heads in confusion, turmoil in the showers. The main goal of the developers of information technology - to manipulate the masses. Today, with all the ideas enshrined in words of humanism - a frank and unceremonious invasion of the human soul. Iznichtozhat national thinking and behavior of Russian national type. Summons - each of us can and must fight: "It is time to realize that against us in Russia unleashed a fierce war. Being targeted suppression of reference points of our spirit, our national consciousness - understanding, memory and will. The purpose of war complete enslavement of the people. All this is evidence of the most ambitious in the history of the Russian war. Do not know that, do not understand what is happening, is not aware of all the drama perpetrated with us, then not be able to provide adequate and equivalently, resistance. We must take up the challenge, and if you do not wish to die, to realize the need for retaliation. "Kara-Murza SG in the book "Manipulation of consciousness" is trying to identify the device whole machine manipulation of public opinion; Show appearance in the USA in the history of the new type of social administration, based on the suggestion. The fact that in other societies evolved for thousands of years in the United States was designed from scratch, in a new, purely scientific and engineering method. Man "liberal mindset (which today seems to be dominated by a" cultural layer "of Russia) is convinced that the transition from violence and coercion to the manipulation of consciousness - the tremendous progress in human development, almost" end of history. "

A more rigorous conceptualization of social capital proposed by J. Koleman (1990, p.24), who calls him a resource, moving from donors to recipients. Social capital is equal to the sum of the links of the actor with other actors and mediates the mobilization of foreign resources. So is the translation of social capital into other types of capital - economic, cultural, etc.

However, J. Turner (1991, p.550) points out three main types of flows in social networks: the material, symbols and emotional. Under the symbols Turner has in mind information, ideas, messages, material resources - all sorts of things (like groceries). To some extent, as characters can make money - in the end, money provide access to material value. The exchange of emotions, of course, also is an important part of networking, but this kind of exchange is not amenable to registration, in any case, this task requires special tools, which we do not have.
