Challenging America and the West: A Russian Cyberstrategy?
Résumé
As Russia faces more accusations regarding its interference in the 2016 US presidential campaign, this chapter aims to show how Moscow uses cyberspace to fulfill its political and strategical purposes—especially when it comes to challenging America. By investigating different aspects of the Russian offensive posture in cyberspace, from the use of cyber weapons to disinformation, this chapter will show how Moscow remarkably has raised “cyber” as a core element of its national power narrative, partly thanks to Western declarations.
