A conversation on new-generation warfare and the role of social media in achieving geostrategic goals, on whether a “Gerasimov doctrine” exists (in the interviewee's view, it does not), on Project Socrates, the technological race among the great powers, the Three Seas Initiative in US and Chinese strategy, Russian foreign policy and the use of intelligence services. The master's thesis cites his argument that Russia achieves tangible global objectives at low cost (about 1.5% of its budget for Donbas and Syria).
