Los Angeles-born Michael Perry isn’t a politician, but the Kyiv-based construction

company owner is convinced that he can be helpful in restoring the balance of

justice in the world. Together with like-minded friends he set up Red Card

Russia, a grass-roots campaign aimed at getting Russia expelled from this

year’s World Cup soccer tournament. It also wants to take away Russia’s right

to host the tournament in 2018.

It’s

not the sport of soccer that motivates the president of a Perry Construction.

It’s politics.
