Вот, почитайте. Еще одна нескушная статейка на иГзайл.ру про Путина, Каспарова и протесты. Люблю я негромкий стёб Марка Эймса и друзей...
This is what is at the heart of the protest movement: a question of expectations, and of personal dignity. Existential questions that may seem abstract to observers who talk about how all Russians want is stability and food, but in fact, these issues are a matter of religion. And this is why it poses a potentially profound threat to the society that President Putin has set up, and hopes to continue long after he "leaves" office next year.

But first, what is wrong with how the protest movement is being sold to the West. Gary Kasparov, the man they're making into the next Nelson Mandela, is what's wrong. You probably haven't read about this anywhere (unless you read the Russian blogger world), but Kasparov is so deep in bed with the vilest of America's neo-con goons, a VIP member of their PR-politics-lobbying network, that it almost seems like a bad setup. The strangest thing of all is how no one in the major Western media has touched on Kasparov's neo-con connections.

One reason why Kasparov's name was removed has to do with conflict of interest. After last weekend's protest, not only did the Wall Street Journal shake its indignant fist at Putin's authoritarianism on behalf of its own contributing editor, but the Washington Times and other outlets printed an equally damning, pro-Kasparov piece by none other than Frank Gaffney, the Center for Security Policy's founder. Neither Gaffney nor the Washington Times mentioned his links to Kasparov.
