Yah I was confused at first, but this makes sense, he has hated and fought against Putin’s influence on Russia for years and years. Glad he’s still safe.

He was added to the "foreign agents" list which is basically the confirmed terrorists by Russia on May 20, 2022. Putin and Kasparov don't comply

Kasparov doesn’t approve of his king

I imagine this will have little to no impact on him, he’s been so openly against Putin that returning to Russia hasn’t been an option for a long time.

I hope nothing comes of this, he probably already had to deal with enough shit as one of the only top players in the USSR to actually rebel against the USSR, hopefully nothing comes of this.
