Earlier Kasparov’s activity in the American media surprisingly coincided with growth of financial well-being of Russian opposition that received an additional stimulus for its political activity. At the moment, certain members of the hibernating party The United Civil Front in Russia suddenly start participating in the protests all over Russia. Interestingly enough, they participate in all kinds of protests, including a protest against the introduction of new traffic tax in Kaliningrad and meeting of environmental activists in Irkutsk.
It looks like some political forces have started unofficial preparation for 2012 Presidential Election. It is not yet clear what tactics the opposition would choose this time. Most likely, it would place bets on the opposition of the President and Prime Minister as well as attempts to interfere with voting. At least, only under conditions of chaos and destabilization the weak and unsupported Russian opposition will be able to get into the legal political field. Who knows, maybe foreign countries will help.
