Șor Political and Influence Network

Shor network · Victory/Pobeda bloc network · Evrazia-linked network

A political-financing, field-mobilization and information network centered on Moldovan politician Ilan Șor. Moldovan authorities and EU sanctions records document its use of Russia-based organizations, a sanctioned Russian bank, Șor-affiliated political vehicles, paid organizers and disinformation to influence Moldova's democratic processes. The record supports a Russia-linked attribution but does not establish direct Kremlin control of every activity.
