New synthesis paper by SOC ACE researcher, Matthew Redhead: The hidden front: Russia's ongoing state threats.

Matthew Redhead has published SOC ACE’s latest Synthesis Paper focusing on Russian State Threats, .

The Hidden Front: Russia's Ongoing State Threats Campaign provides an overview of the scope and scale of Russia’s extensive and growing state threat practices.

He describes a range of hostile actions, including cyber operations, information operations, sabotage, assassination, and terrorism. Putin’s regime employs a variety of actors - oligarchs, businesses, serious organised crime groups, mercenary organisations, and state operatives - to pursue its goals.

He concludes with observations for policymakers.
