Abstract
The article analyzes the characteristic features of information wars of a political orientation. Today, information wars are an integral element of the political system, acting as an instrument of political governance. The specificity of information warfare lies primarily in the fact that the fighting takes place in the plane of virtual space. It was revealed that the worldwide information computer network has brought information warfare to a new level, becoming a powerful tool for implementing information attacks. This trend is reflected in the political conflicts that occur within the boundaries of the information field.
