He used his KGB knowledge, I think the tricks were quite primitive but it did work,\u201d he said, going on to tell a story about Putin and former President George W. Bush \u2014 which Kasparov believed was entirely fabricated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe story that Putin told him, I believe invented, about him being baptized in the Soviet Union and wearing the cross given by the mother. Bush, a devoted Christian \u2013 he bought the story,\u201d Kasparov explained. \u201cIt created a bond and we should give Putin credit, you know, he knew how to work with people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelly, who interviewed the Russian dictator in 2018, said she had experienced a similar attempt at \u201cmanipulation\u201d from Putin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when I interviewed Putin and I spent a fair amount of time with him, in three separate sit-downs. He \u2013 One of the first things he said to me, and he knew I was the mother of three children, was how much his mother meant to him,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cWhat a close relationship he had with her. It was an obvious manipulation!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kasparov went on to note that Putin did not only use what he knew about his political rivals to win them over, but also to intimidate them when he believed that would better play to his advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely, he always tried to play, you know, strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. It\u2019s well known that his first meeting with Angela Merkel knowing that she disliked dogs, he brought his dog to the meeting,\u201d Kasparov added.<\/p>\n<p>Putin later claimed that he had not intended to scare Merkel when he brought the dog along, CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/01\/12\/europe\/putin-merkel-scared-dog\/index.html\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\" data-uri=\"archive.cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/paragraph_B0E67139-C015-8050-2696-35B004A42E96@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-analytics-observe=\"off\"><em>Merkel,<a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2013\/09\/20\/world\/europe\/germany-merkel-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> reportedly fearful of dogs since one attacked her in 1995<\/a>, was photographed looking distinctly uncomfortable when Putin brought his large black Labrador Koni into a meeting at his summer residence in Sochi, Russia, in January 2007.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\" data-uri=\"archive.cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/paragraph_E60A7DD5-C717-CDBE-1DC2-35B3FC85FC8D@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-analytics-observe=\"off\"><em>The Russian leader appeared to smirk as he watched his pet approach his uneasy VIP guest.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-uri=\"archive.cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/paragraph_E60A7DD5-C717-CDBE-1DC2-35B3FC85FC8D@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-analytics-observe=\"off\">Listen to Kelly\u2019s interview with Kasparov below:<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
