Garry Kasparov, the former World Chess Champion and Russian politician, has spoken out against the Russian opposition‘s inaction in the face of Putin’s regime. In an interview with The Kyiv Independent, Kasparov expressed his frustration with the opposition’s failure to make meaningful change and their refusal to support Ukraine’s victory in the war.
Kasparov argued that the opposition’s focus on ending the war without considering Russia’s defeat is a mistake. He proposed a plan to offer Russian citizens who oppose the war the chance to leave the country after signing a declaration, which would be a way to weaken Putin’s regime and create momentum for Russia’s defeat.
He also criticized organizations like Human Rights Watch for their inaction, saying that they are more interested in funding than making a real difference. Kasparov called on these organizations to stop pretending and instead support Ukraine’s victory.
Kasparov emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine’s victory and creating momentum for Russia’s defeat. He believes that only then can we begin to consider what comes next and create a future free Russia.
