The collapse of the Soviet Empire and the dizzying development of new communication technologies, led to the geopolitical reconfiguration of the world, but also opened the way for the former Soviet republics to democracy and collaboration with European countries. As NATO and the EU advance towards Russia’s borders, it makes both military and ideological propaganda efforts to keep the territories of the past under its influence. Not without the competition of Russia in the countries of the “close neighborhood”- Ukraine, the Republic Of Moldova and Georgia were inspired conflicts, called to preserve military, political, ideological and economic control over these regions. A fierce battle is also waging by Russia for the strengthening of its positions in the Black Sea region, where geoprafically Ukraine, the Republic Of Moldova and Georgia are located. The article highlights the strategies, tactics and techniques applied by the Russian media in order to achieve geopolitical goals.
