Russia declares chess player Garry Kasparov a terrorist. The information has appeared on the website of Rosfinmonitoring, the Russian financial supervisor.

Last December, Russia declared Boris Akunin, one of the most widely read contemporary writers in Russia, a terrorist and extremist, highly critical of the war in Ukraine. Two weeks ago, after learning of the death in prison of the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, KasParov did not hesitate to accuse the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, of the same.
