The Dissipation of Russian Influence in Moldova
from Carnegie Politika Podcast · host Alexander Gabuev, Maksim Samorukov, Paula Erizanu
Russia is using agents of influence, propaganda, vote buying, and the Orthodox Church to retain influence in Moldova. With a presidential election looming, the people of Moldova must decide whether they want to continue the EU-integration course led by President Maia Sandu, or whether to spurn it and pursue a different path, all while Russia tries to seek and invent new ways to remove agency from what it considers “a potential part of Russia.” You can read Maksim Samorukov’s recent paper on Moldova here: https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2024/10/moldova-russia-strategy?lang=en¢er=russia-eurasia Host – Alexander GabuevGuests – Paula Erizanu and Maksim SamorukovProduced by Dmitrii KuznetsovMusic by Liam Gordon
