“…In Vertov's case, the synchrony is in the sense of Soviet power, but in Zavoronok, it reflects the clash with Nazism. In 1960and 1979, French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard (1930-2022 reviewed his connection with Vertov's principles after the student and Maoist revolts, criticizing himself for using too many extremely "loud" sounds in some of his films. (Lucas, 2013) Levaco considers Vertov to have an unusual background as a filmmaker.…”

Here, we discuss the 1965 Soviet film The Lark, Zhavoronok, narrating the escape of the III Reich from a soviet T-34 main battle tank during the Second World War. The film reveals the reception in the USSR of flower power, Allen Ginsberg, and Western counterculture movements connected to the desire for change in the country. The film makes literary and critical intermediations, innovations in the use of the camera, montages, and the presentation of the enemy.

“…Deterrence has been effective in the nuclear sphere because of the severity of the consequences of a failure of deterrence: "Whoever shoots first dies second" [25]. After all, the prospect of a third strikeafter a first strike and a responseis unlikely [26,27] (, and even if it does happen, the future is pretty certain anyway. Fundamental to nuclear deterrence is the belief that, with nuclear aggressor-responder pairs assured of reaching a conclusion in which nobody wins, there is no incentive for aggression.…”

A pair of attacks on energy sector assets offers a unique opportunity to better understand the differences in impact from cyber and kinetic warfare. A review of the 2021 cyber attack on Colonial Pipeline and the missile strike on the Syvash wind farm demonstrates the principle of reversibility in action, particularly in regard to the short-lived nature of cyber attacks. Within the context of security and strategy, particularly at the cyber/energy security nexus, this means that traditional state security thinking needs to evolve to address threats in the cyber domain rather than try to retrofit dated strategies. The two cases compared offer lessons that can be applied more broadly in the formation of state-level cyber and energy strategic thinking, ultimately improving resilience and the appropriateness of protection.

“…Diversification may also hold benefits for the offense, by facilitating attacks on a range of different enemy forces and by complicating the challenge faced by an opponent seeking to limit its vulnerability (Burt 1978; McCarthy 1976; Snow 1979). Diversification allows one weapon system to compensate for weaknesses in another.…”
