"Other Russia" is a group of anti-Kremlin reformers whose most notable character (at least in the West) is the world champion chess master Garry Kasparov. Despised by Putin, he's not permitted on Russian State TV and is unwelcome in most public venues, so he threw this press conference in Moscow's House of Journalists in advance of rallies scheduled for St. Petersburg and Moscow. To his left is the Russian writer and leader of the National Bolsheviks Eduard Limonov, and further to his left our own Mike Vuolo diligently watching his recording levels.
