The information dimension has become an integral part of modern military conflicts, where digital technologies and social networks play a decisive role in shaping the public perception of events. Russian aggression against Ukraine demonstrated how critical it is to understand the mechanisms of the functioning of the information space and its impact on the course of the conflict. The study focuses on the phenomenon of information bubbles arising from the operation of recommendation algorithms in social networks. The central place in the study is the analysis of cognitive mechanisms of information perception in the conditions of algorithmic content filtering. The results of the study are of applied importance for the development of effective mechanisms for ensuring the information stability of society in wartime conditions
