Kasparov doesn't think Putin is actually going to run for Prime Minister, but that he'll retain power as head of the United Russia party, which Kasparov calls the "analog to the Communist Party."

Now they're going over all the dead journalists.

I think we need to listen to people like Kasparov on issues like this.

Vlad is very blatantly consolidating power and eliminating possible adversaries.

Bear bombers being intercepted...claiming the North Pole for the Motherland?

I’m sorry but when you’re the former head of the KGB...you don’t turn in your gold plated Communist Party membership card when a temporary case of Democracy breaks out in your country.

Now to follow Garry Kasparov.... Richard Gere.

Now there's a stark difference. Kasparov puts his life in real peril every day he works in Russia. Gere sits in the relative safety of Los Angeles and offers nothing but vaucous prattle about "coming together" and "freedom of cultural development."
