Russia’s Shadow War Against NATO

Grant Year: 2024

Alina Polyakova, Sam Greene, Andrei Soldatov, and Irina Borogan will lead an effort to identify how NATO can respond to Russia’s “shadow war” of assassinations, sabotage, and terrorism against the West. They will examine the scale of Russia’s covert attacks, the actors tasked with carrying them out, the vulnerabilities to such attacks among NATO members, and options for deterring future Russian attacks. The project’s findings will appear in a series of policy briefs and a report.
