As person who was born in USSR I want to ask,do you have underground culture?I mean we have some artists and writers who were against regime,for example Solshenizin.When I see on your country it's really looks like time machine to USSR.

Why? For example, WTA (tennis) with same situation wasn't neutral and taken active position, they said to organisers that if such things will happends again UAE will not host big tournaments in future.And now in tennis that question is closed.In Chess world looks like we see more cowardish approach.

Kumi,you were active anti-apartheid activitist in past.SA like Rodesia have problem with racism,but do you like what's happends with these countries right now?US also have big problem with racism in past but somehow it can fix it.Rodesia was much more better country than today's Zimbabwe same for SA.Do you feel any guily or at least responsobility for your actions when see news from these countries?

What you think about FIDE position related to this! scandal?

I'm no way endorsing racism,but just see on facts and history.Racistic laws wasn't something special in past:for example,in US and Australia not so long also were such laws but all these countries were democratic,same thing with SA and Rhodesia.As for last mention country it was just destroyed and hardly anyone see Mugabe better leader than any leader of old Rhodesia.

Modern SA hardly democratic and free country,it's more 3th world country.Yes,it's good that you don't have racistic laws but there is racism,even inside black population agaisnt people from other african countries.But what make visible difference between 2 countries is that now South Africa is world capital crimes:murders, assaults, rapes and other stuff.And also it well know for high rates of the HIV.
