It is somehow difficult to seriously comment on the assertion that “The Other Russia” is an “accomplice of the regime.” I think that Kasyanov himself is no longer happy that he uttered these words. Most likely, they were said out of frustration, due to, let’s say, the not very successful and intelligible actions of the RNDS recently. And, above all, because of the clearly erroneous refusal to participate in the absolutely transparent and open procedure of the primaries, which took place throughout the country and ended with a congress in Moscow. And in which, this must be especially emphasized, Kasyanov had excellent chances of winning... Therefore, you should not attach such importance to what was said in the heat of the moment...
I would like to remind Mikhail Mikhailovich of the old wisdom: you should not throw stones in a room with glass walls. This is even more ridiculous when you are alone in the room.
