Garry Kasparov, Russian dissident and former world chess champion, dissects what he calls the "Putinization" of America. They explore Trump’s admiration for strongmen, the collapse of institutional resistance, and how American democracy is being reshaped by unchecked executive power, corruption, and fear. With lessons from Russia and a warning for 2026, Kasparov lays out why the next move belongs to those who still believe in liberal democracy.
