The George Lengvari Sr. Lecture Series

The intellectual journey of Garry Kasparov

The 2015 edition of the George Lengvari Sr. Lecture Series featured Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion, Russian dissident and renowned freedom fighter.

Born in Baku, Azerbaijan (then a Republic of the USSR) in 1963, Kasparov took on the greatest champions and won. Since retiring from the game, he has been involved in a fearless political battle with one of the most powerful and controversial men alive, Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.
