Description of presentations
Russian Active Measures: A Well-Honed Weapon Against Western Liberal Democracies
Russian intelligence services have a long history with 'Active Measures' going back to the formation
of the Cheka in December 1917. Active Measures, a Soviet era term, covers a broad range of mostly
covert political warfare and influence operations, including special actions involving political
repression, decomposition of organizations and institutions and character assassination, even
violence, against individuals.
By their nature Russian influence campaigns, like the one against the U.S. during the 2016
presidential election, are multifaceted and designed to be deniable, using a mix of agents of influence,
cutouts, front organizations and individuals, disinformation, “fake news”, propaganda, and false-flag
operations. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union used intelligence officers, influence agents,
forgeries, Third Country press placements, subsequently replayed in the West, to disparage candidates
perceived as hostile.
The presentation will offer an overview of the evolution of the Russian Active Measures
strategies and operational tactics as we now understand them.
