Kasparov Warned of Russian Death List

Chess legend Garry Kasparov, 63, revealed that he and his colleague Ivan Tjutrin have been placed on a Russian death list. According to Kasparov, both American and Lithuanian security services warned them about the threat. "The news that I, together with my long-time colleague and co-founder of the Free Russia Forum, Ivan Tjutrin, am on a list of assassination targets came as no surprise to me, but it is still a shock," Kasparov stated on social media. argolida.life

Kasparov and Tjutrin founded the Free Russia Forum in 2016, which supports the Ukrainian military and organizes anti-war conferences. Russia designated the forum as an "undesirable organization" in 2023 and later as a "terrorist organization" in 2025. Kasparov's statement follows the US Department of Justice's indictment of five alleged Russian intelligence agents in mid-September for conspiring to carry out attacks and killings worldwide, including in the United States.
