Kasparov: I'm on Russian death list

Chess legend Garry Kasparov (63) reveals he's been warned by American and Lithuanian security services that he's on a Russian death list, along with his colleague Ivan Tjutrin.

Kreml-critic and chess legend Garry Kasparov says he's been informed by security services that he and his colleague Ivan Tjutrin are targets for assassination by Russian authorities. The pair co-founded the Free Russia forum in 2016, which supports the Ukrainian military and organizes anti-war conferences.

The forum was designated as an "undesirable organization" by Russia in 2023 and later labeled a "terrorist organization" in 2025. Kasparov's statement follows charges brought by the US Department of Justice against five alleged Russian intelligence agents for conspiring to carry out attacks worldwide. rouesnews.click
