About Garry Kasparov
The Next Move is a publication founded by former World Chess Champion and Russian dissident Garry Kasparov and published by the Renew Democracy Initiative (RDI). We provide expert analysis of the shifting frontlines in the battle against authoritarianism and strategic insights on what to do next.
As dangers to freedom have multiplied–from dictators abroad to political extremists at home—countless organizations and publications have come forward to help define and guard against the threat. Many have been clear about what they’re fighting against, but few have offered a compelling vision around what they’re fighting for.
The Next Move was founded to offer a clear vision of what we’re striving to achieve and explore strategies and tactics for getting there. We’re not just about analyzing the current moment; we want to think about what we can do to influence what comes next.
