Second question from the bottom:


PRAVDA.RU: Can you imagine the former chess champion Bobby Fisher as the
leader of an opposition movement in the USA? Please substantiate your
answer.


The interviewer must be amazingly ignorant of Fischer's political
and social opinions, or those of most Americans, to ask such an absurd
question.


I disagree. The interviewer seems quite aware of Fischer's views.

His questions, taken as a whole, seem to address the issue of Kasparov
leading an opposition movement in Russia while receiving some funding
from America.
