Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on approving the country’s information security doctrine.
"The doctrine represents a system of official views on ensuring national security of the Russian Federation in the information sphere," the document posted on the official portal of legal information says.
The doctrine says that one of major negative factors influencing information security is that some foreign countries are building up the capabilities of information and technical impact on Russia’s information structure for military goals.
Special services of certain states increase the scope of using means of information and psychological influence aimed at "destabilizing domestic political and social situation in various regions of the world and leading to undermining sovereignty and violating the territorial integrity of countries," TASS reports.
