Abstract

THE PAPER WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN THE WAY RUSSIA MANAGED TO INFLUENCE THE EUROPEAN POLICY IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. IT WILL REFLECT THE ROLE OF THE RUSSIAN BUSINESS DEVELOPERS AND SECRET SERVICES IN THE INTERNATIONAL POLICY, THE METHODS USED BY THEM TO INFLUENCE THE INTERNAL POLICY OF EX- SOVIET, EUROPEAN STATES AND THE INTERDEPENDENCES THAT APPEAR IN TIME BETWEEN EUROPEAN STATES AND RUSSIAN FEDERATION. WE WILL INCLUDE SOME CASE STUDIES AND ARTICLES ABOUT THE IMPLICATION OF RUSSIA IN THE UNITED STATES ELECTION IN 2017 AND HOW THE TYPICAL D IPLOMATIC WAR GAINED A NEW DIMENSION AND HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A „HYBRID WAR” USING HACKERS, BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PRACTICES LIKE BIGDATA THAT OFFERED THE POSSIBILITY OF A MORE EFFICIENT MANIPULATION OF THE POPULATION FROM THE „TARGETED”/„AFFECTED” STATES.
