Kasparov seems careful not to blame Putin directly, but clearly he thinks this was fueled by him.
Most in the US don’t realize just how much passions in Russia have been inflamed by the Civil War in Ukraine. To them, this is clear-cut, U.S.-sponsored ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians.
This is supported in the media, and in the idiocy coming from Kiev, like today’s moronic statement by Kiev Prime Minister Yatsenyuk, that, “everyone who speaks russian in Ukraine is a potential traitor.”
Da, comrade.
Most in the US don’t realize just how much passions in Russia have been inflamed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
You’re blaming this on the Ukraine conflict - which Russia started, and maintains? Unreal.
The excuses never stop with you, do they?
Perhaps you can also explain how all those Putin critics died years before the Ukraine invasion?
If there is one group that should be ethnically cleansed, it's ethnic Russians.
