Summary
What happens when you ignore the writing on the wall?
For over a decade, Russian chess grandmaster, writer and political activist Garry Kasparov shouted early warnings about the rise of demagogues like Trump, about tech stagnation that could lead to pandemics, and, most presciently of all, about the failure of the world to stand up to Putin before he launched his bloody invasion of Ukraine. Kasparov’s predictions and moral compass have unerringly pointed true.

Critics Review
It’s always important to read Garry Kasparov, who warned of the dangers of Putinism long before so many others. He is that rare thing: A Russian democrat who is realistic about his country, but remains hopeful for the future – Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag and Iron CurtainIn this punchy polemic, Kasparov reflects on how far the world has gone from the heady end of history days of the early 1990s to what some see as the advent of a new Cold War … Kasparov’s moral clarity is admirable and informed by personal experience * Sunday Times *
Praise for Winter is Coming:Ferocious and unforgiving … This is a book that should be read by every policymaker dealing with Russia (or any other autocracy)
* Financial Times *About The Author
