It is known that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. It is already knocking at our doors. The ghosts of Vîșinski, Groza and Tătărescu are haunting Chisinau.
From agony to ecstasy
Igor Dodon was complaining the other days that the supporters of the socialists objected him for ceding the power to the right wing, suggesting that, thus, the association of the pro-Russian left with the anti-Plahotniuc right is temporary. Yet, here it comes that the President changes his attitude. He transfigured over night from skeptic to an optimist.
After the last meeting of the PSRM leadership, he sees future in a very optimistic and confident manner. The President hopes for the current parliamentary majority to last for the entire parliamentary term.
The transition from agony to ecstasy is explicable. Russia, which forced the Kozak Alliance, didn’t seek only to get rid of Plahotniuc. No doubt that the PDM leader was an undesirable subject for Russians, although if he gave up to the blackmail, as I said before, Dmitry Kozak would have blessed a coalition between PSRM and PDM.
For Moscow it was important to put in power in Chisinau its people. Its goal was to have PSRM in power in any possible combination: either with democrats, either with ACUM-ists.
As they failed to make a coalition with Plahotniuc, Putin forced Dodon to close the deal with Maia Sandu and Andrei Năstase.
In order to form an alliance with the ACUM bloc, the socialists were ordered to change the attitude, to give up on a big number of conditions, which they showed off right after the elections – strengthening the Presidency as an institution, getting control over the Ministry of Interior, of the foreign policy, etc.
Furthermore, they have been forced to moderate their vocabulary, to significantly change their political speech, to forget for a while about federalization, to stop attacking the EU, and so on.
Putin’s “maskirovka” in Chisinau
In other words, Moscow suggested Dodon and the company: put on a make up by the last European fashion trends to rule in the interest of Russia. We are now assisting a famous strategy called “maskirovka”, which Russians put into practice numerous times in different countries in the world.
Bolsheviks, as well as their putinist successors, have always had the ability to adapt to the conditions and customs of the countries which they intended to control. They have always found allies between social-democrats, anarchists, trade unionists, populists and radicalists of every kind only to grab the power on their merits.
During the interwar period, for example, Stalin successfully exploited the strategy of popular fronts, succeeding to take over the power in Spain. After the Second World War, soviets used the euro-communist current to strengthen their positions in Italy and France. In the Arab countries (Egypt, Syria) the russophiles dyed in left nationalists.
The strategy of misalliances allowed Moscow to rapidly sovietisize the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Even though the Kominternists parties were week in Romania and Poland, their joint forces with the bourgeois parties permitted to gradually monopolize all the power and to put it in the service of Kremlin.
Russian governance under European cover
At Chisinau, Maia Sandu’s Government is somehow a replica of the Government of Petru Groza at Bucharest. Primarily formed from liberals (Gheorghe Tătărescu), members of the Ploughmen's Front and communists, this government was blessed to govern by the Kremlin’s envoy Andrei Vîșinski, predecessor of Dmitry Kozak.

Primarily formed from liberals (Gheorghe Tătărescu), members of the Ploughmen's Front and communists, this government was blessed to govern by the Kremlin’s envoy Andrei Vîșinski, predecessor of Dmitry Kozak.
Right wing politicians who accepted to collaborate with the newly controlled power by the Soviet Russia invoked, alike the ACUM bloc, tactical reasons, the need to clean the state, to fight corruption and poverty, etc. Moscow’s farfetch crowned with success: Tătărescu, the peasants and all the bourgeois rotted in jail, and Stalin sovietisized Romania to its depths.
I don’t know if the leaders of PAS and PPDA, allying with PSRM, took into consideration the risks of being used as a Trojan horse to allow Moscow to rebuild its absolute influence on Dniestr and Prut rivers. Anyhow, Putin succeeded with their help to complete a brilliant secret operation. In a former soviet republic, he forced a Russian government under the European cover.
Analyzing from this point, the so-called geopolitical moratorium, one of Lubyanka’s beldams, suits Moscow down to the ground. “Fight corruption and war against the oligarch’s legacy, but don’t investigate the Russian funding for PSRM, don’t send home from the boarders the Russian soldiers and propagandists, don’t arrest the mercenaries who fight in Donbass, put your tear handkerchiefs on the dulcimer of the European integration, etc.” suggest us Russians.
They are swallowing up the country to its depths
Of course, Putin is making in turn some concessions. PSRM will not open the subject about federalization or Eurasian Union for a while. However, in the backstage of these give-ups, Russians take over the power of the country to its depths, leaving the surface power for Maia Sandu.
Dodon has already started the takeover of the justice and force institutions. The security, prosecution, courts, army and special forces are priority targets of the rusophile party.
The euphoric supporters of the ACUM bloc refused to see the harmful and ugly truth of the coalition with PSRM. For now, they enjoy their honey moon negotiated by Dmitry Kozak.
It is a dizzy feeling caused by the success in the PAS-PPDA camp. The intemperance of words and bold plans within the pale of the new government doesn’t seem to stop.
Meanwhile, Russians use Maia Sandu’s image to put to sleep Western’s vigilance and to strengthen its roots into the power structures of Chisinau. They also have financial interests. Moscow hopes to put its hands on some European money, as Putin doesn’t have enough financial resources to feed the new hybrid regime in Chisinau.
Re-oligarchization of the Republic of Moldova
De-oligarchization coupled with a pro-Kremlin party is nothing but a chimera. In real life, we are witnessing a re-oligarchization of the country, the real leverages of power, not those for show, passing into the hands of Moscow’s guys.
Several ghosts are hunting the lobbies of the new government of the Republic of Moldova. The ghosts of Petru Groza, Gheorghe Tătărescu and Andrei Vîșinski.
Collaborationists, naive victims and hangmen. All together, some willingly, others unwillingly, served the cause of Mother Russia.
