At least Kasparov isn't like Boris Spassky...who is an anti-semitic kook.
Garry is cruising for a "tragic auto accident"...but I hope he can prevail.
Their language and lack of moderation reminds me of the Bush-bashers, so I'm skeptical. However if he's serious, a truly democratic election in Russia would certainly be a positive development. He should understand that Putin isn't the biggest problem however. The biggest problem is that there aren't really major parties of different ideologies... it's basically the Communists vs. Whoever is in power.
Err... Best of luck with that whole, "toppling the Russian Regime" thing Gary.
As far as I know Kasparov is half-Jewish.
The fact that Mr. Kasparov is a marginal politician in Russia is obvious to anyone, except for him.
At least he has a guts!
In Russia every anti-Putin politician is marginal. Guess why?
I don't know, please explain to me.
Because they are marginalized by Kremlin’s controlled media. In their parliament “Duma”, Putin hasn’t have real opposition. Communist and nationalist only pretend that are.
You might be confusing Spassky with Bobby Fischer.
You are right to be skeptical.
Communist working for Putin, their job is to pretend that they are some kind of opposition. They are in fact form the same family, they know each other very well.
Actually I'm not. Spassky signed a petition along with several Russian luminaries asking the Goverment to ban Judaism. There was a thread about it somewhere. Fischer has expressed his continuing fondness for Spassky.
Well Putin isn't very much of a socialist.
Spassky isn't the nutcase about it that Fischer is, but he has made anti-Semitic statements in the past.
I'd like to know what Gary thinks of the U.S.
Isnt' it our very own Bobby Fischer that is the anti-semitic kook?
Whole Russian system is socialist, comparing to the other post-communist countries in Central Europe, Russians made very little reforms.
