The series of the next graphs represent an important part of the RFE/FEC collection - RFE Daily Reports. The data is accumulated monthly for the sake of changes visibility. Orange line represents all the messages in the collection, while the blue one demonstrates how it would look like without the RFE Daily Reports, which start around 1969, also existing in some differents forms before. Overall, there is about 1000 daily messages covering the international political situation, but focusing mainly on Eastern Europe. You can see the list of the reports on the Raw Data page on our Github page. The same logic applies to the mentions of the countries(see examples below). X-axis is displaying years, Y-axis is the number of messages.
