•Corruption and hyper-politicization of nominally independent government bodies provide avenues for Russian interference in Moldovan domestic politics.
•The election of pro-Russian President Igor Dodon in 2016 was made possible by his de facto campaigning with Putin and has resulted in Moldova turning away from the EU and NATO and toward Russia.
•The pro-Russian Moldovan Orthodox Church and various nongovernmental organi­zations are both vehicles for promoting Moscow’s worldview and organizations for Moldovan politicians like Dodon to signal their closeness with the Kremlin.
