Former chess champion Garry Kasparov is no longer just a “foreign agent” for Moscow. The list of people declared “terrorists and extremists” has now been placed.
Born in 1963 in Soviet Azerbaijan, he was one of the greatest chess players in history. In 2013, fearing legal action, he left Russia. He now lives in New York where he founded Renew Democracy Initiative. He remains a determined opponent of the Russian “dictator” and continues to denounce Russian power.
