Russian politics is in the news once again. Last we heard Mr. Putin was very much on his way to creating his own kingdom. He was setting up a yes-man to take over from him after his term of office expires, and aledgedly apoint himself his prime minister. He's also crafted the demands of party status to the effect that no one can oppose him and have a voice in the parliament. So now, the voice of the opposition, former international chess champion Gary Kasparov has quit the presidential race due to an inability to fulfill requirements, one of which is to hold a meeting of his supporters numbering 500 within Moscow before December. According Mr Kasparov, he's booked multiple halls and payed up front, only to be canceled at the last minute by the venue.
