"...they threw out wild statements - what about Tesak, we don’t care about Tesak, yes please, let him run for office, we’re not afraid of some Tesak. And then they removed him from the elections. And the explanation looks strange against the backdrop of already registered candidates: there, for example, there is the “liberal publicist” Boris Stomakhin, who aggressively called for the destruction of Russian soldiers in Chechnya and applauded their deaths. Like, there are no ideological differences with him, but there are with Tesak?!.. And it seems like people- then everyone is smart, really. And it seems that Kasparov was against the removal of Tesak... And here it is for you. I have only one version of this sudden turn: The Chief Great Leader was afraid that he would lose to Tesak in the vote. There are no other explanations for such an irrational act. No."
