Garry Kasparov: Lukashenka Is Absolutely “Out of Line”

The dictator has aroused the hatred of the whole society.

The famous chess player Garry Kasparov believes that Vladimir Putin, who has been in power in Russia for so long, may start having problems from Belarus.

In an interview with sobesednik.ru, he says that "there are no eternal dictatorships," and the Russian Federation will face "a new period of instability." "Now all over the world there is a trend towards changes, towards strong turbulence, everything is changing," Kasparov continues. In his opinion, Putin "does not feel... the trend for change, and, therefore, Russia will be shaken more than the rest of the world: a chain is only as strong as its weakest link."

"And where is it weakest?" the journalist of the Russian edition asked. "It seems to me, in Minsk," says Garry Kasparov. "Lukashenka aroused the hatred of the whole society, even the security forces are far from completely supporting him." Further, the chess player reminds that Belarus - "this is not Libya - it is 675 kilometers from Moscow." “Therefore, Russia will to the last support Lukashenka, who is absolutely out of line, and here it will inevitably face a challenge that it cannot cope with,” Kasparov emphasizes.
