   Авторы на основе доктринальных документов и научной литературы показали эволюцию понятия «политическая война». Теоретическая рамка, предложенная Дж. Ф. Кеннаном, за годы противостояния сверхдержав стала основой стратегического планирования Вашингтоном долгосрочных и разрушительных, в том числе тайных операций, по устранению влияния СССР в мире. Концептуально политическая война включает дипломатию принуждения, финансово-экономические способы давления, информационно-психологические и военно-политические операции. Весь этот арсенал в настоящее время направлен против России с целью подрыва её устойчивости и политической субъектности.

   The article shows the evolution of the concept of «political war» on the basis of doctrinal documents and the corpus of scientific literature. The theoretical framework, proposed for the first time by American diplomat J. F. Kennan, over the years of confrontation between the superpowers became the basis for Washington’s strategic planning of long-term and destructive, including covert operations to eliminate the influence of the USSR in various regions of the world. Conceptually, «political war» includes coercive diplomacy, financial and economic methods of pressure, information and psychological and military-political operations. In the conditions of the Cold War, this entire arsenal was repeatedly tested. Currently, it is directed against Russia in order to undermine its stability and political subjectivity.
