Drug safety in modern conditions of a new type of war: problematic aspects

The study actualizes the issues of achieving drug safety for individuals and society in the context of the prevalence of methods of “hybrid” impact on their culture, consciousness and life, associated with new information technologies using social networks, the darknet, web markets, shadow types of communications. In reality, this cumulatively reinforces the antagonism of a deep conflict between state and existing international drug trafficking market. The manifestations of drug expansion, the dynamic introduction of the drug subculture, the moral disorientation of young people in the context of the global information and social processes taking place in the 21st century contribute to the strengthening of the dangerous trend of drug addic-tion in society. From the standpoint of the geopolitical approach and its prin-ciples, we indicate the urgency of the need for the formation of a national drug control strategy through the creation and functioning of the state anti-drug system with the implementation of a legal policy to counter the spread of drug addiction and illegal drug trafficking. This is fully answered by an in-tegrative approach with the definition of such important components in this system as: regulatory and legal, scientific and theoretical, organizational and managerial, information, control and analytical. The study presents the forms of anti-drug activities at the federal, regional and local levels to build a systemic counteraction to drug trafficking in Russia.
