Kasparov Wins Opposition Primaries In Russia

27.09.2007 – The Moscow branch of the Other Russia opposition party Monday chose former world chess champion Garry Kasparov as candidate for the 2008 presidential elections. Kasparov garnered 66 of a possible 113 votes at the all-important Moscow primary, defeating ex-premier Mikhail Kasyanov. In addition to many international reports there is a remarkable 12-page (!) story in the New Yorker [Letter From Moscow: "THE TSAR’S OPPONENT — Garry Kasparov Takes Aim at the Power of Vladimir Putin" by David Remnick].

if putin and his team continue on the path of liquidating opposition, and winning in all the elections we could potentially see ourselves facing off against Ivan once again. I already think we are seeing a face off with the Russkies over Kosovo, Iran, and Syria.

You think Kasparov is related to the US government and CIA stands for him? Do you have any proofs?
