The operation was put in place by Roman Zagliadov, a Russian citizen, and financed through the Evrazia, led by Șor's former accountant, Nelli ParuTeko. Zagliadov is known for involvement in campaigns of ideological influence organized in the CIS states, the organization that brings together the former Soviet countries that have remained close to Moscow after the disintegration of the USSR.

Open.md writes that, in addition to the indoctrination of young people, the priests in the service of Russia have received the mandatory task of initiating the “Matușca” project. The initiative, coordinated by Bishop Nicolae Roșca, aims to influence Christian-Orthodox women with pro-Russian and anti-European messages, hidden under the screen of “traditional values”.

In this regard, each priest was trained to identify 10 women from the social-vulnerable blankets, who will receive more “aids”, including the purchase of the necessary products and medicines, the repair of houses, etc., all these actions to be undertaken by groups of “volunteers” (people paid by the Șor group).
