Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped

The stunning story of Russia’s slide back into a dictatorship-and how the West is now paying the price for allowing it to happen…
For Garry Kasparov, none of this is news. He has been a vocal critic of Putin for over a decade, even leading the pro-democracy opposition to him in the farcical 2008 presidential election. Yet years of seeing his Cassandra-like prophecies about Putin’s intentions fulfilled have left Kasparov with a darker truth: Putin’s Russia, like ISIS or Al Qaeda, defines itself in opposition to the free countries of the world.
