Let's separate the issues.

One issue is that Putin is an old Soviet KGB agent. This sucks, I agree.

Another issue is that people who position themselves as Putin's opposition are sometimes simply lunatics. For example US-supported Kasparov was a supporter of a so-called "Fomenko's theory" - the theory that the traditional history is a conspiracy and that the Egyptian pyramids were built during Renaissance (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Fomenko) )

I didn't know about it! Kasparov behaves like an idiot, indeed.
