Kasparov on Russian death list

Chess legend Garry Kasparov says he's been warned by US and Lithuanian security services that he's on a Russian death list.

Kasparov, a prominent Kremlin critic, revealed the warning in social media posts, noting that he and his colleague Ivan Tjutrin were informed of their status as potential assassination targets. The pair co-founded the Free Russia Forum in 2016, which supports the Ukrainian military and organizes anti-war conferences. likesport.biz

Russia designated the forum as an 'undesirable organization' in 2023 and labeled it a 'terrorist organization' in 2025. This warning comes after the US Department of Justice indicted five alleged Russian intelligence agents for plotting attacks worldwide, including in the United States.
