Previously, the concept of «war» covered only various forms of the use of armed forces in resolving interstate conflicts, which defined them as traditional (conventional). In the twentieth century, it became possible to conduct special operations and achieve military objectives by nonmilitary means, which received the name «hybrid»: all state mechanisms (economic, political, ideological, informational, etc.) are under attack simultaneously. The most used and proven to be effective are the socalled color revolutions, which have become the main destabilizing factor of the «soft power» model used by the main actors of world politics.
