The Soviet Union was dangerous, but Putin is dangerous. He's trying to destroy democracy from within - Kasparov

Russian opposition leader Garry Kasparov believes that Russian President Putin set out to prevent the re-election of Chancellor Angela Merkel in the upcoming elections in Germany. He told German newspaper Bild .

"Putin wants at all costs to prevent the re-election of Merkel - said Kasparov. - Merkel - a key figure in the European Union, and Putin knows long will Merkel, sanctions will be saved. " He said that "Putin will do to weaken Merkel everything in his power."

"Putin will support any party, so that it was against the EU", - said Kasparov. However, he recalled that Putin has lost in France and the Netherlands - "perhaps playing in Germany." But to underestimate the Russian president, in his opinion, is not: "The Soviet Union was dangerous, but Putin is dangerous. He's trying to destroy democracy from within. "

On the domestic point of view, Putin, according to Kasparov, now weakened: "He has so much blood on his hands that he was standing with his back to the wall. And the only thing that it makes sense - it's saving power. " "It reduces all social benefits. All. The only thing he does not cut it costs for security, military and propaganda. This military budget ", - said the opposition.

"And while Putin will pay for their actions, he continues in the same spirit" - summed Kasparov.
