Kasparov put the USSR on the same level as Nazi Germany
In the upcoming “tribunal over the Putin regime,” the main thing is to avoid making the mistake of the Nuremberg trials, when “Soviet criminals” were among the accusers of the German Nazis.
The fugitive Russian oppositionist Garry Kasparov stated this during the liberal “VII Forum of Free Russia,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Indeed, there (at the Nuremberg Tribunal - ed.) there was no legal basis, and from the point of view of the rule of law, they were judged incorrectly, which, by the way, many Nazi criminals said there that they are judging us on unknown grounds.
Now, the future tribunal, I have no doubt, will take place, at which not only Putin’s, but also all the crimes of the Soviet era will be condemned - it is very important that this tribunal does not have the problem that the Nuremberg Tribunal faced.
This is not a lack of law, but the fact that there were criminals among the accusers. The fact that prosecutor Rudenko was a bandit and a criminal like those he tried. The fact that the Soviet side committed crimes quite comparable to the crimes of those who sat in the dock - so, in our tribunal there should not be those who are in one way or another connected with the crimes of the Putin regime,” Kasparov said.
