To my knowledge, no Russian targeting plans have ever been declassified, but an open source project called OPEN-RISOP[^1] has a few hypothetical attack plans that give some idea of what would be targeted.
Its creator, David Teter, is a former advisor to USSTRATCOM, DIA, and DTRA on strategic plans (SIOP/OPLANs 8044/8010), kinetic and non-kinetic weapon effects, vulnerability analysis, and targeting.
It's raw data, so to get a visualization you need to use something like Nuclear War Simulator[^2]†. Here's a video showing one such plan:

† NWS is on Steam, but don't go into it expecting a game-like experience. It's more of a rather technical "what-if" simulator.
- pi-e-sigma 3y agoThere exist at least one declassified plan of the Warsaw Pact showing all the targets the Soviets would strike with nuclear weapons but also showing expected nuclear strikes by NATO forces. It also shows extensive use of chemical weapons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_to_the_River_Rhine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_to_the_River_Rhine A very detailed map was declassified, unfortunately it's not included in the wiki article. But you can google it
- treprinum 3y agoThere was some documentary about a Ukrainian silo with dampened launchers and they mentioned they targeted China among others.
