Vladimir Socor writes for The Jamestown Foundation: Russia has done almost nothing to help Igor Dodon’s Socialist Party and other Russophile forces in Moldova’s recent parliamentary elections. The Kremlin and its propaganda apparatus kept silent; and the Russian government offered no economic handouts or promises to Moldova’s Socialist-backed government during the electoral campaign. The Western-oriented opposition concentrated in the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) surged to win the elections in a landslide (see EDM, July 8, 9, 13).
