Abstract. This article is devoted to the consideration of such a complex socio-political phenomenon of modernity as hybrid warfare. The author analyzes not only the very concept of hybrid warfare as a specific means of interstate confrontation, but also gives a qualitative assessment of its substantive side. First of all, to identify those negative scenarios that are being implemented by global actors in achieving their goals by conditionally non-military means — means of hybrid confrontation. Special attention is paid to understanding the reasons for determining the diversity of possible participants in a hybrid war, which can be both individual states and various interstate entities. It is emphasized that, unlike all types of wars of previous periods, «hybrid» wars made their own adjustments to the generally accepted concepts of war, which led to the transformation of modern conflicts. The forms and methods of hybrid confrontation analyzed in the article allow us to see the specifics — the «hybrid» character implemented in various spheres of interstate confrontation. Special attention is paid to the importance of modern information technologies for assessing the nature of the «nonviolent» interstate confrontation in the absence of the so-called «hot phase». The presented text examines the interpretations and highlights the factors influencing the applicability of information technologies in interstate confrontation. When evaluating the use of information technology as one of the main elements of hybrid warfare, it may seem that they are exclusively negative in nature. Given the principles of their implementation, the author is not inclined to give them such an unambiguous characterization. Special attention is paid in the article to the relatives of the beneficiaries of the hybrid war. They are traditionally based on money.
