For anyone unaware of who Kasparov is, he’s a very famous chess World Champion from Russia who held the title for 15 years.

From the article…
A city court in Syktyvkar, the largest city in Russia’s northwestern Komi region, is charging Kasparov of “creating a terrorist society, leading it, financing terrorist activities, and publicly justifying them,” according to Kremlin-backed outlet TASS.
Its getting rediculous how countries trump up charges against their enemies.
Why is there a license in your comment?
It’s like the people who used to put messages about preventing Facebook from using their content in their profile descriptions. It probably won’t actually do anything, but it’s a nice thought and more power to them if it makes them feel better.
“more power to them” it it makes them feel better.
What a funny statement. “More power to them” while it won’t do anything because they dont have the power to prevent facebook doing what its doing so its just making them feel better.
Watch out, the 61 year old chess grandmaster is going to commit terrorism.
Putin strikes me as the kind of person who’d lose against a bongcloud opening.
I’d guess he would be a mediocre player I would lose to. Chess was actually highly regarded as a mind sport in the USSR and even taught in schools. And even if Putin is stupid, there are ways he can ensure I would never win (placing the chessboard on his side of his long table and getting me shot by security if I attempt to approach it).
