Mapping Russia's Attack on Europe

Each symbol on this interactive map represents an attempt by the Russian state to destabilize European democracy. The map visualizes Russia’s hybrid warfare against the West, which involves tactics as diverse as cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, physical sabotage, and even possible assassinations — actions that might seem minor in isolation but form part of a broader strategy to undermine political stability, weaken institutions, and erode trust across Europe

Cassini Maps’ Beyond Hybrid Warfare is an ambitious, research-driven interactive map that visualizes the often-invisible dynamics behind Russian hybrid warfare in Europe. Built in collaboration with the GEODE laboratory, the French Institute of Geopolitics, and the CORUSCANT collective, the project hopes to illuminate patterns of Russian destabilization in Europe that might otherwise remain hidden.

The map is accompanied by a Network Graph of Actors. This graph visualizes the relationships between the Russian state and its proxy actors, showing who is linked to which events. Nodes represent actors, and links capture their documented connections. Selecting a node on the graph filters the map to reveal where that actor has been active.

The map also includes five charts that can be used to dynamically filter the events shown on the map by type, country, attribution certainty, time period, and actor type. l way to interrogate the data.
