Russia's national security policy is dependent on "othering," both on national and individual levels. Russia has relied on conspiracy theory narratives and distrust to support their political objectives. The 2022 Russian-Ukrainian war is an example of Russia's continued use of conspiracy theories and distrust tactics to maintain power and justify their actions. To mobilize the public, Russia has created narratives that depict Russia as both the victim and the savior. This is then supported by the distrust created by using surveillance and disinformation to exploit, control, and isolate supporters from the opposition. However, the 2022 invasion has proven that social media is an x-factor, making it an unreliable but important battleground. The Russian government has used social media to fortify their narrative with the people; however, because it is a public domain, Ukraine is able to use it in the same way.Russia has rooted its justifications for invading Ukraine in conspiracy theory narratives. Russia has claimed that the invasion was an attempt to revive Russian-Ukrainian relations while protecting Russian "compatriots" abroad. At the same time, Russia is concerned about the geostrategic and ideological threats NATO expansion poses to Russia. Following the invasion, Russian forces have been working to maintain power and support through surveillance and social media. In terms of surveillance, Russia has taken control of networks and infrastructure in order to limit and isolate access and capabilities while monitoring and collecting information. On the other hand, social media has been more of an experiment in manipulating the public.
