Kasparov's Russia

Garry Kasparov is a Russian version of Bobby Fisher but unlike Bobby who can only publish his bizarre ideas on eccentric internet sites only Garry enjoys full access to major mainstream American newspapers. In an article called “What’s bad for Putin is best for Russian” in New York Times he writes about Bush:

Now this American president seems to be saying that Iraqis and Afghans are deserving of democracy, but Russians are not.

You get it right. Garry Kasparov is a strong supporter of bombing Russia into democracy. He sees it as the only chance for Russians to become free, like Germans and Japanese became free and democratic after WW2. In “Karamozov Brothers” there’s one hideous character Smerdiakov who has exactly the same idea, “What’s wrong about it, sir? A smart nation conquers a stupid nation, sir”.

The article is actually about “The Other Russia” forum that Kasparov held a week or so ago. Western media pictured it as a “democratic” challenge to Putin. Few mentioned the fact that at this forum Kasparov gathered almost all extremists both left and right. Like, Limonov’s National Bolsheviks (their flag is an exact copy of Hitler’s banner only swastika in the center is replaced by black hammer and sickle) and Anpilov’s Working Russia – an ultra Stalinist organization that promises to hang millions of “democrats” on every tree in Russia if only it gets to power. Even Miss Novodvorskaya – mentally challenged “freedom” bigot – refused to join Kasparov. On the other hand the British Ambassador and two guys for the US State Department saw nothing wrong to sit at one table with Nazis and Stalinists. If one follows the perverse logic of Western mainstream media Putin had to support this forum. Isn’t he the one who loves Stalin and encourages racist attacks?

Another funny passage from Kasparov’s article:
Just days ago, dozens of activists en route to Moscow to attend the conference were arrested, some beaten.

The above mentioned activists (not dozens – there were twenty of them) are members of AKM – Avant-garde of Communist Youth. They were beaten by the train passengers who got sick and tired of their shouting for hours, “Stalin is our hero. Putin is haemorrhoids”. (Сталин наш герой, Путин геморрой). Police actually had to defend the drunk teens.

Konstantin neglects to report a few minor facts.

Such as that the Kremlin's crude thugs raided the peaceful meeting of Kasparov's group, arrested four of its paticipatants and attacked a German photographer who attempted to record their actions.

http://russophobe.blogspot.com/2006/07/neo-soviet-attack-on-peaceful-meeting.html

And the fact that Kasparov and his supporters have been regularly assaulted and threatened by "President" Putin's thugs.

And the fact that "President" Putin has eradicated all forms of opposition to his regime including TV media, political parties and local government.

And the fact that Konstantin regularly lectures the West that it must accept "President" Putin as Russia's soveriegn choice no matter how odious and offensive he is to their values yet he imposes no such obligation upon "President" Putin to accept any opposition leaders on THEIR own terms.

If Kasparov is so silly, why can't "President" Putin just ignore him? Can he really be THAT big a coward?

LR,

Putin DID ignore him. When asked about Kasparov's "anti-summit" by a German reporter, he had no idea what she was talking about, so she had to elaborate.

As for being a coward -- you got the wrong number. He just basically publicly told your president to piss off with those lectures on democracy as he is going to pass on democracy they got down there in Iraq.

BIGBLACK: That's one of the stupidist statements I've ever heard. Do you really think that if Putin was afraid of Kasparov he would ADMIT it???? Are you completely INSANE, or just drunk? How can you possibly imagine that so many people could be arrested out of that meeting without it being cleared with the Kremlin, or more likely on its orders?

Give it up with this lame propaganda, you're just making yourself look silly.

It's cowardly to arrest peaceful protesters rather than let them speak. Putin has been attacking Kasparov's followers for months now, read a little can't you? He's AFRAID of him and that's why he's doing it, just like Brezhnev was AFRAID of Solzhenitisin.

Putin got TROUNCED with attacks from every quarter at the G-8, and provoking the world's most powerful country into Cold War II isn't bravery, it's the same self-destructive stupidity that got Russia where it is today.

Smerdiakov is an extremely negative character. Bad comparison.
