Abstract
With the development of new communication technologies, as well as ways of mentally influencing the audience, a new type of military conflict has emerged — the information warfare. The main emphasis in the information warfare is not on inflicting physical violence on the enemy, to bend him to your will, but on the total ideological impact and information suppression of both the enemy army and the population. During such a war, it is information superiority in the media space which actually determines who will be the culprit of the war, and who will be the winner, who will act as the aggressor and who will be the victim, who deserves all-round condemnation in the eyes of the world community, and who needs all-round support. At the same time, the information support of a military conflict determines the mood and therefore effective support for one’s own army and population, in addition it pants into the heads of soldiers and the broad masses of the enemy country the idea that their actions are wrong, thus spreading depression and passivity among them. That is why the ideological basis of the information warfare today plays a key role in its preparation, conduct and consolidation of the results in the spiritual values of the society after it ends.
