Quote: A third element in the Soviet (and now Russian) toolkit is “active measures” — direct intervention by clandestine means in the politics of another country. Active measures may entail the following: * Influencing the policies of another government; * Undermining confidence in its leaders and institutions; * Disrupting its relations with other nations; * Discrediting and weakening governmental and nongovernmental opponents.
