Why would Russia throw one of their greatest historical figures under the bus like that? Not that I care that much about the winter Olympics but I hoped Norway would win, even before they took funding away from Uganda after passing their homophobic bill. Too bad about Russia winning it though at least Norway beat out America, where we not only needed Dr.King but some states didn't want to give him a national holiday (but giving one to a genocidal pedophile slaver like Columbus is?) so... yay?

Why? To have a background in his upcoming fight for FIDE leadership and ,not less important, political strugle he is involved in Russia.
