Descriptive data on Russian operations in and against Europe since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This dataset has been made by three researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands: Bart Schuurman, Dion Jordens, and Stijn Willem van 't Land. The dataset's focus is on operations / incidents in the physical domain, such as sabotage, assassination and certain types of influence operations. Most cyber attacks and espionage operations are not included for this reason, unless they had a physical effect (e.g., a cyber attack that caused physical sabotage, or an influence campaign that targeted specific individuals rather than a broad online audience). Although Russian sabotage and hybrid warfare operations against Europe have repeatedly made news headlines, a complete overview of these activities since the invasion of Ukraine has not yet been put together. The primary purpose of this dataset is to provide such an overview and use it to inform the public debate on the threat posed by Russia. Further information about the project will be made available on the Leiden University website in late 2024 / early 2025 (see metadata below for more information).

The dataset contains available information about launched and shot down missiles and drones during russian massive missile and drone (UAV) strikes on infrastructure (since October 2022) as part of its invasion of Ukraine. The dataset also contains information about some single shot-down UAVs.

The dataset was created manually based on the official reports of Air Force Command of UA Armed Forces and General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published on social media such as Facebook or Telegram.

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, also known now as the Russo-Ukrainian War. We obtained our dataset through Twitter API from 23 February of 2022 until 23 June of 2023. The collected dataset has 127.275.386 tweets, shared in the form of anonymized text, where the tweet/user IDs and user mentions are anonymized and do not provide any personal information. The provided dataset contains user discussion in more than 70 languages, where the 20 most popular are : 'eng', 'fr', 'de', 'mix', 'it', 'es', 'ja', 'ru', 'pl', 'uk', 'tr', 'th', 'hi', 'qme', 'qht', 'nl', 'fi', 'ar', 'zh' and 'pt'. For the purpose of the information integrity tweets are separated and stored in different files ordered by creation date. The provided dataset is shared for further research purposes. Additionally, we provide the list of tweets IDs at the GitHub repository which can be retracted via Twitter API. Furthermore, we also manage to execute some initial analysis including: volume/activity, hashtags popularity, sentiment and military intelligence and publish the results in the web portal.

In response to Russia's large-scale aggression against Ukraine, the OECD Council decided on 8 March 2022 to immediately suspend the participation of Russia and Belarus in OECD bodies. In view of this decision, the OECD suspended its solicitation of official statistics on R&D from Russian authorities, leading to the absence of more recent R&D statistics for this country in the OECD database. Previously collected and compiled indicators are still available.

The business enterprise sector includes all organisations and enterprises whose main activity is connected with the production of goods and services for sale, including those owned by the state, and private non-profit institutions serving the above-mentioned organisations. In practice however, R&D performed in this sector is carried out mostly by industrial research institutes other than enterprises. This particularity reflects the traditional organisation of Russian R&D.

Headcount data include full-time personnel only, and hence are underestimated, while data in full-time equivalents (FTE) are calculated on the basis of both full-time and part-time personnel. This explains why the FTE data are greater than the headcount data.

This dataset contains data from the experiment and python code for the project titled “Love or politics? Political views regarding the war in Ukraine in an online dating experiment”.

Paper abstract: How polarized is Russian society regarding the war in Ukraine? Political views have an impact on various behaviors, including relationship formation. In this paper I study the extent of polarization in the Russian society regrading the war in Ukraine by conducting a field experiment on a large Russian dating site and collecting data on more than 3,000 profile evaluations. The findings reveal sizable penalties for those who express pro-war or anti-war positions on their dating profiles, suggesting considerable levels of polarization in the Russian society regarding the war. Age of the online dating site users is the most divisive factor, as younger individuals are less likely to approach pro-war profiles but not anti-war profiles, while older individuals are less likely to respond positively to profiles indicating anti-war views but not pro-war views.

The experiment was conducted in October - November, 2022, on a large online dating site in Russia in three Russian regions: Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Sverdlovskaya oblast. There are three separate data files, one for each region. Each file contains information on male dating site users that have been liked by and/or have viewed the experimental female profiles. The description is available at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/118862/ . The folder also contains python code for data analysis.
