From a sociocybernetics point of view, we analyse threats to security resulting from globalization of international information space and information and communication aggression of Russia. As the analysis shows, the harmful influence in the processes of mass communication can be carried out not only at the technical level of data transmission and processing, but also through the hostile content of the information that affects the brain of an information recipient. The manipulative effect on the mass consciousness is multiplied by application of artificial intelligence methods. We reveal an emergence of a threat for democratic states resulting from the destabilizing impact of a target state's mass media and social networks being exploited by Russian secret services under freedom-of-speech disguise. Among the socially dangerous infocommunication technologies that we have noted in the media, we should point out “information shock” and “Pavlovian conditioning” as well as the initialization of destructive radical movements through social networks. A new body intended for global geopolitical monitoring and management of synergetic defence of the Russian Federation is described and analysed, which bases its work on an expert system installed on a powerful supercomputer. The importance of the information component of the modern synergetic war is underlined and the technologies for Data Mining modelling the media influence on a society are briefly described. Thus, modern civilization has faced new threats of psycho-viral contamination of public consciousness, which in its disastrous social and political consequences can be considered as a weapon of mass destruction, requiring the development of protection methods based on the ethical compromise between the democratic values and the needs of mental Défense. In essence, this is a war of psycho-viruses constructed with help of AI for mastering the virtual reality of the global network mind.
