The goal of the monograph is to introduce the characteristics and development of the Russian concepts in regards to the informational warfare through the incidences of the Russian-Georgian war in 2008. According to most authors this war can be considered the first armed conflict of the history where in order to achieve certain goals - parallel to the military operations - invasive activities were carried out in the cyberspace (Hollis, 2011). For the purposes of understanding the subject closer we found it of particular importance to review shortly how the information operations arrived in the Russian military strategy and ideas in the years prior to the war. In our opinion it’s practical to start the investigation with the Russian experts’ conception of the nineties in the information operations category that got affected significantly by the political and military changes of the era. In the second part of the script we were looking for a response as how far the information and cyberspace operations parallel to the military operations contributed to achieve the political and strategic goals set during the war. At the end we present shortly how the conflict contributed to the appreciation of the information operations and to the modernization program of the Russian armed forces.
