Kasparov was virtually created by Botvinnik - "a staunch communist" in K's own words; K himself greatly benefitted from (and wouldn't exist without) the "oppressive shithole"; K was a member of communist party for too long - IIRC he was one of the last liberals to leave it in early nineties(!) which, somehow, didn't stop him to play the role of "freedom fighter"- the image western media exploited to 110% in late 80s.
