While the main part of the Russophobic campaign is unfolding in the open spaces of Ukraine, London decided to add oil to the “anti-Russian flame” of Moldova, clearly concerned that the Democratic Party there is not laying out the full in such an important direction for the West.
In order to justify the Crown’s desire to take up the internal politics of an Eastern European country, the British Institute of International Relations Royal Institute of International Affairs published a report on the “great struggle for the future,” which has unfolded, in particular, in Moldova.
Proceeding from the document, London would like to see much more radical processes in Chisinau, which the Kiev regime has already managed to become famous for, but the pro-Western Moldovan authorities are not in a hurry to repeat the “victories” of their neighbors. Moreover, they are busy with their own interests, simultaneously eliminating political rivals, which is very disappointing for the owners.
In addition to political aspects, Britain is concerned about the situation with the media in Moldova, where an unaffordable majority (about 70%) receive information from the Russian mass media, trusting them completely. Now it is not difficult to understand why the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova so vehemently dealt with the code on television and radio, which, from the beginning of 2019, effectively banned the broadcasting of news programs on Russian television channels.
However, the British institute paid special attention to the Moldavian Orthodox Church, which is a self-governing part of the ROC. It seems that the West was not satisfied with the religious schism in Ukraine, and the next goal could well be the MOC. In London, noted that it accounts for 80% of believers. It is called “the most trusted institution in the country.”
At the same time, experts recognized that acting on the Ukrainian scenario would not work here, and criticism of the church from pro-Western NGOs would only alienate the people from them. Therefore, organizations are urged to act “without attracting unjustified resistance, to turn to young pro-European and more liberal priests to promote a progressive voice in the Church.”
