  • Russian Military Thinking and Threat Perception: a Finnish View
    CERI STRATEGY PAPERS N° 5 – Séminaire Stratégique du 13 novembre 2009 Russian Military Thinking and Threat Perception: A Finnish View Dr. Stefan FORSS The author is a Finnish physicist working as Senior Researcher at the Unit of Policy Planning and Research at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and as Adjunct Professor at the Department of Strategic and Defence Studies at the National Defence University in Helsinki. The views expressed are his own. Introduction “The three main security challenges for Finland today are Russia, Russia and Russia. And not only for Finland, but for all of us.”1 This quote is from a speech by Finnish Minister of Defence Jyri Häkämies in Washington in September 2007. His remarks were immediately strongly criticised as inappropriate and it was pointed out that his view didn’t represent the official position of the Finnish Government. Mr. Häkämies seemed, however, to gain in credibility a month later, when a senior Russian diplomat gave a strongly worded presentation about the security threats in the Baltic Sea area in a seminar organised by the Finnish National Defence University and later appeared several times on Finnish television.2 The message sent was that Finnish membership in NATO would be perceived as a military threat to Russia. This peculiar episode caused cold shivers, as it reminded us of unpleasant experiences during the post-war period. The Russian military force build-up and the war in Georgia in August 2008 was the ultimate confirmation for all of Russia’s neighbours, that the Soviet-style mindset is not a thing of the past.

  • Reform of the Latvian Public Media in the Perspective of Developing
    Tomasz Fraszczyk Reform of the Latvian public media in the perspective of developing modern content distribution technologies, evolution of user needs and complicated Latvia–Russia relations KEY WORDS Latvia, public media, media policy, new media, Russia ABSTRACT The article presents an outline of the evolution of the Latvian audiovisual media market (after 1988), the influence of the 2009 market crash on media entities (including those public) and key discussion topics and decisions made as a result of the crisis by Latvian institutions responsible for the media landscape. Detailed attention will be given to the new law on electronic mass media (in force from 2011) and those elements of the public media system reform project (announced in 2013), that are an outcome of the dynamic development of new content distribution technologies and changing user needs and habits, especially in younger age groups. The final part of the work will concern the complicated Latvia–Russia relations and the multi-aspect contribution of mass media in their shaping. The conclusion indicates a broad scope of discussion and analytical works in Latvia concerning the reform of public media, which suggests it will not be abandoned in the following years. In the beginning of January 2013, the Latvian National Electronic Mass Media Council (NEPL Padome) published a new strategy for the public radio (LR) and television (LTV). It aims to rebuild the position of the public service broadcasters (LSM) after the severe crisis of 2009–2010, which had seriously damaged not only the finances but also the market position of these institutions. In the youngest age groups, these shares are the smallest by far and do not exceed 20 % for the television and 8 % for the radio1.

McClean, VA 1 FOREWORD Russia has long been captivated by the power of information as a weapon, most notably in a historical sense using propaganda to influence and persuade audiences. With the onset of the information age, the concept’s development and application increased dramatically. The power of information-technologies when applied to weaponry increased the latter’s capabilities due to increased reconnaissance and precision applications. The power of social media was used to influence populations both at home and abroad. Both developments fit perfectly into Russia’s information warfare concept, whose two aspects are information-technical and information-psychological capabilities. Information’s universality, covertness, variety of software and hardware forms and implementation, efficiency of use when choosing a time and place of employment, and, finally, cost effectiveness make it a formidable commodity when assessed as weaponry. Russian efforts to define and use IWes are well documented. In the 1990s there were efforts to define information weapons (IWes) at the United Nations, efforts that failed.

    Bibliography For detailed notes on this section we ask readers to refer to issue No. I (p. 34) - especially on photocopying rates. Documents and press articles in this issue are for the period May-August 1972, although new documents for the period already covered have been added at the beginning of each section. Publications and organizations quoted in the first issue as sources have not been repeated, but new ones are listed at the end. No coverage has yet been made of the important atheist publications Nauka i Religia ("Science and Religion") and Lyudina i Svit ("Man and the World"­ Ukraine) or of the two main church publications Zhurnal Moskovskoi Patriarkhii ("Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate") and Bratsky Vestnik ("Fraternal Herald")-although extracts from the last two have appeared in translation in our document section. It is hoped in future issues to devote a page to each pub­ lication, indicating important articles over the year 1972, and subsequently to in­ corporate them into the press section. The CSRC urgently requires full texts of all documents in readers' possession but not yet received at its office. Please check on the relevant period as it is covered in the Bibliography.
