It is expected that the judge will sentence Kasparov to standard 15 days (cleaning the streets, for example) - this is a typical low-end punishment for small offenses. He is not going to Siberia yet.
He was apparently sentenced to five days in jail, meaning he won't be able to do very much campaigning, nor will the other candidates for parliament who were arrested. Also, how can you generalise in such ways, saying that Russians despise Kasparov specifically? Do you work for Putin? I'm seriously asking.
