The Term Operational Ares 6: Culture was coined by Anna Korzeniowska-Bihun (Boroch, Korzeniowska-Bihun, 2023) and refers to NATO's five areas of military operations: maritime, land, air, space, and cyberspace. Operational Area 6 executes military and military-like operations in a social environment. Thus, in Lotman's terms, language and language-like systems are essential for information spreading among society members. Mechanisms for creating, disseminating, or destroying information represented by sign systems have become a tool of warfare in the 21st century. Therefore, understanding the importance of using semiotics as a social weapon is essential in the age of information warfare, hybrid threats, and populist political activities. Considering the above-mentioned, this contribution will explore anthropocentric sign systems as a tool for anthropological aggression. Cultural entities are powerful in awakening or creating human emotions, triggering individuals to take kinetic action. Therefore, cultural entities are significant elements in cognitive warfare. The mechanism of anthropological aggression will be discussed using material collected during fieldwork in Warmia (northern Poland). The Russian Federation uses an anthropological aggression strategy by exploiting places of memory and symbols firmly established in collective consciousness. This strategy also allows for the extraction of emotion, empathy, etc.; in other words, empathy, in this case, becomes a tool of struggle, a tool for constructing one-sided and distorted historical narratives.
