The popularity of Russian President Vladimir Putin among the residents of the Gagauz Autonomous Republic of Moldova indicates that they consider themselves part of the Russian world. The deputy of the State Duma, Elena Arshinova, stated this to TASS, referring to the results of a sociological survey among the residents of the autonomy. "The Gagauz people consider themselves part of the Russian world and trust the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The Gagauz people have always been part of the Russian world and perceive Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, as the center of a fair world order," she noted. "In Gagauzia they want to be part of this world." Arshinova added that the trust expressed by the residents of Gagauzia in Putin is not a phenomenon, it is trust in a person who will never allow the world to slip into a new era of colonial politics. "The whole world trusts Vladimir Putin, although it is not customary to talk about it openly everywhere," continued the deputy. "And in Moldova itself they are sent to prison for this: the head of Gagauzia, Yevgenia Gotsol, became a victim of the arbitrariness of the Moldovan authorities."
