attempts to maintain democracy in Russia.

Somebody has already suggested this. My reaction then was to say that
it would be *essential* to ask Kasparov about this first. My guess is
that USCF support could be the kiss of death for Kasparov's campaign
by causing him to be denounced as America's puppet.
