Kasparov compared Putin with Pinochet

The leader of the United Civil Front Harry Kasparov, who was detained on a rally in the center of Moscow on Saturday, gave an interview to The Sunday Times. In it, he compared Russia at the regime of Vladimir Putin with Chile from Pinochet and Communist regimes, which collapsed after "velvet" revolutions in Eastern Europe.

"We do not fight for the victory in the elections, we are fighting to have elections. Now the word" election "should be erased from our political dictionary. There is a process of appointment," Kasparov said.

In his opinion, despite the large incomes from the sale of oil, most Russians experience economic difficulties, and this will float to the surface next year. "I do not think that we have too confident in the Kremlin. There is no longer one Kremlin, the ruling elite is divided into several different voices," he said.

"The temperature is growing, we observe the collapse of the Kremlin power structures. Putin is forced to make a decision and name the successor, but this is a person who has never made a difficult choice in his life," he added.

“If we can save the“ other Russia ”for the next six months, the Kremlin wrestling will be more and more losers looking for other ways. Time will be on our side. This gives me a little optimism, although not much, because everything can go differently. There may be repressions and arrests,” Kasparov said.
