Pro-Russian posters placed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris

Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.

The dataset records pro-Russian posters placed on the Arc de Triomphe, and says a Russian national suspect was linked to others charged in a suspected spy network. It codes the incident as influence operation, apparent goal compromise domestic / EU politics, target public space: Shopping centre / Memorial / Landmark / Company / School, location France; the dataset dates it only to September 2025, so the date shown is the first of the month. The Leiden dataset includes incidents linked to Russia by officials, incidents fitting a pattern of officially suspected attacks, or incidents backed by journalistic evidence, and its authors call the data speculative and subject to change.
