Russian perceptions of the deep crisis after the demise of the USSR led certain circles in Moscow to conclude that an "Anglo-Saxon" anti-Soviet clandestine information war had nearly destroyed Russia. Russian political-military elites decided that the nature of war had changed, and Moscow must fight back with what is considered a New Generation War--a perpetual subversion of the West. Such a faulty conclusion was not inevitable, and peace is not impossible on mutually acceptable terms. These could be based on the just war theory rooted in the Christian values Russia professes as a source of its moral superiority over the West.
