To the origins of the psychology of hybrid wars: covert operations and the geopolitical meaning of their food name

Abstract

There are many secret pages in the history, especially concerning the geopolitical confrontation, which only lose their secrecy over time. But even so, the events that unraveled behind the veil of secrecy may continue to play the role of the psychological weapon most in demand in hybrid warfare. It is to this type of psychological means of influencing opponents that not only covert operations themselves, but also their names, in particular, taken from the arsenal of food products, can be attributed.
