Chess Legend Kasparov Moves to Oust Putin

Former chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov has set up headquarters in Florida to begin raising funds for his efforts to oust Russian President Vladimir Putin and possibly run for the Russian presidency himself.

Kasparov’s longtime agent, Owen Williams, told Palm Beach Post columnist Jose Lambiet that Kasparov established a nonprofit organization, Freedom for a Democratic Russia, in a Palm Beach office building. He is launching an English-language Web site to spread the word about “how crooked the current Russian regime is,” according to Lambiet.

It was widely reported that police on Dec. 13 raided Kasparov’s Moscow office searching for “extremist literature.”

Lambiet writes: “With some Putin opponents turning up poisoned these days, other tenants in the Palm Beach building have grown wary. Some said they’ve seen guys in dark suits and government cars hanging out, but FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said Thursday she couldn’t confirm they were G-men.”

On Saturday, Dec. 16, Kasparov led an anti-government rally in Moscow calling for free elections next year. About 2,000 took part, but activists said hundreds of others were detained to prevent them from attending.
