If we look to the south, to Iran, which cannot be accused of excess democratic zeal - it goes without saying that the unstable situation does not prepare the ground for a democratic development.
Garry Kasparov
Image
In my opinion, using different kinds of epithets and adjectives in connection with the word democracy is a sign of mere hypocrisy, to put it mildly. Either there's democracy, or there isn't.
Garry Kasparov
Image
I think Russian people are learning that democracy is not an alien thing it's not a western invention.

I can't think of a scenario under which [Vladimir Putin] would gradually resign from power. For him and those around him, power became a source of unlimited enrichment. A loss of power would be tantamount to an annihilation of the economic success that has been achieved so far.

Energy is connected to physical fitness. One of the reasons I stayed at the top so long is that I was tremendously fit. At 36, I was fitter than most opponents ten years younger.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Russia's inclination toward authoritarianism undoubtedly strengthened the leaders in Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Kazakhstan, as they are afraid of normal democratic procedures.
Garry Kasparov
Image
There's the blazing Russian Caucasus, with an ongoing war all against all, which is not to be neglected.
Garry Kasparov
Image
I'm not in favour of a regulation-free world. I align myself with Teddy Roosevelt, who broke up the trusts. Regulation is necessary, but it should be in favour of the consumer, the citizen, and freedom.
Garry Kasparov

The highest Art of the Chess player lies in not allowing your Opponent to show you what he can do.

Image
Kortchnoi's heritage is many-faceted - over the decades he has several times corrected and changed his style. But the main thing has invariably remained his search for chess truth.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Everyone is concerned about his niche, his name, and wants to adapt the concept to so-called national characteristics. But at the end of the day, it's all the same.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Putin recognized that if he could get enough money, everything would be under control.
Garry Kasparov

I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
