Former world chess champion Gary Kasparov called Russian President Vladimir Putin an “insane dictator” and said he longed for the end of his regime, speaking to the German newspaper “Frankfurter Allgemeine.”
“I hope this will lead to the collapse of his regime. Not even in my wildest dreams would I have imagined such a wave of solidarity in one or two days.Kasparov said.
Kasparov, world champion between 1985 and 2000, has always been one of Putin’s harshest critics inside Russia.
“They constantly ask me what should happen. Should millions of people gather to protest in Red Square? Will there be a hit? Will the oligarchs react?Kasparov said.
“It’s a mix of everything. When dictatorships end no one can predict who will end the game”, he added.
Kasparov maintains that after 22 years in power and with no one to question him in his close circle, Putin has lost his sense of reality and lives in a bubble.
“We know that you trust few people, that you do not consult the internet. Can someone like that have a notion of reality?”. he wonders.
The risk is that Putin, according to Kasparov, has the resources to end life on the planet. “The dictatorship of a man in Russia is the greatest threat to humanity“, he pointed.
