The authors note that sometimes for the sake of political interests of some international actors, geographic maps, distorted and not responding to modern political realities, are produced. Such false maps mislead the mass audience. The authors emphasize the particular danger of a “war of maps” in regions of heightened conﬂict, to which, above all, the Middle East and North Africa belong. They conclude that the forged geographic maps, along with the distortion of historical truth and the essence of historical and modern events and processes, become an integral element of a new destructive type of weapons of the 21st century - information confrontation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье анализируются некоторые особенности современной политической картографии, связанные с тем, что нередко в угоду политическим интересам конкретных международных акторов производятся на свет искаженные, не соответствующие современным политическим реалиям карты. Такие фальшивые карты вводят массовую аудиторию в заблуждение. Подчеркивается особая опасность «войны карт» в регионах повышенной конфликтности, к которым относится, прежде всего, Ближний Восток и Северная Африка. Делается вывод, что подложные географические карты, наряду с искажением исторической правды и сущности исторических и современных событий и процессов, становятся составным элементом нового разрушительного вида оружия ХХI века - информационного противоборства.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>geographical map</kwd><kwd>history</kwd><kwd>politics</kwd><kwd>falsiﬁcation</kwd><kwd>contradictions</kwd><kwd>disputed territories</kwd><kwd>conﬂicts</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>географическая карта</kwd><kwd>история</kwd><kwd>политика</kwd><kwd>фальсификация</kwd><kwd>противоречия</kwd><kwd>спорные территории</kwd><kwd>конфликты</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Stenograﬁcheskij otchyot o zasedanii popechitel’skogo soveta RGO // Oﬁcial’nyj sajt prezidenta Rossii: zasedanie popechitel’skogo soveta RGO, 2018.
