It’s really a wonder that Kasparov is still alive after all these years of attacking Putin publicly.
Maybe his stature as one of the greatest chess players ever has kept him from “suddenly” dying, but for how long?
Kasparov had to leave Russia. Putin would kill him there.
Putin is elevating the Soviet orthodoxy again and has even dug out Karpov and made him a public star. Karpov was just recently on Russian state TV praising Stalin.
Whatever hope there once might have been for Russia, they are firmly turning back to Satan now.
