MOSCOW - While some people throw eggs or tomatoes to express disapproval, others set off flying toy penises.
A buzzing toy penis with wings flew near chess legend Garry Kasparov during a political speech he made Tuesday. Kasparov was speaking for an opposition alternative parliament aimed at the "restoration of democracy" in Russia.
It was not clear who was behind the stunt as security officers swatted down the "helicockter" device.
"I think we have to be thankful for the opposition's demonstration of the level of discourse we need to anticipate," Kasparaov said. "Also, apparently, most of their arguments are located beneath the belt."
"Finally, the political power shows its face," an audience member replied.
Kasparov drew laughter with his quick response: "Well, if that's its face."
