The Putin-backed candidate for mayor of Sochi speaks at a ceremony “commemorating the Armenian genocide during World War I, a crucial gesture to the city’s large Armenian population.” Former grandmaster Gary Kasparov, half-Armenian himself, somehow moved from signing autographs to taking over the podium:
Two minutes and 33 seconds into Mr. Kasparov’s speech, a local official stepped forward and said his time was up. Mr. Kasparov turned to the crowd with an incredulous look.
“What’s happening?” he said loudly. “I cannot speak? Maybe it’s better to be silent?”
