Igor Dodon, an advocate of Moldova’s tighter ties with Russia, has already drastically swing his nation towards Putin's Russia since being sworn in as president of the former Soviet republic on December 23. In his first days in office, Dodon dismissed Minister of Defense Anatol Salaru, a member of the Liberal Party, for his pro-NATO views and took legal steps to cancel the bill under which the government was supposed to pay from the budget the $1bn siphoned off from the three bankrupt banks in a massive fraud that shocked the EU. He also scheduled a meeting with Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin for January 17 in Moscow. Russia’s deputy PM, Dmitri Rogozin, attended Dodon’s inauguration.
