Izvestia has thrown together a map of the four different kinds of attitudes towards Russia EU nations display, from Russophobia to Russophilia. I learned about the map from this article on alfa, and have reproduced the map here. You can click on the image to get a bigger version, and the original is, for now, still available from Izvestia.
The four levels of attitude toward Russia are, in my translation:
Fiercest critics of Russia; advocates of sanctions (Baltic States, UK, Sweden…)
Мoderate critics (Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania…)
Centrists (Finland, Austria, Ireland, Spain…)
Moscow’s lobbyists (Germany, France, Italy…)
