Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion turned political activist, has publicly disclosed that he received warnings from United States authorities regarding his personal safety. Kasparov, a vocal critic of the Kremlin, indicated that these warnings suggest he may be a target due to his ongoing opposition to the Russian government.

In his public comments, Kasparov linked the threat directly to the current leadership in Moscow. He stated that neither he nor his family can be considered truly safe as long as Vladimir Putin remains in power. The disclosure highlights the ongoing tensions between the Russian state and high-profile dissidents living in exile. While Kasparov has long been a critic of the Russian administration, this specific acknowledgment of a US-provided security warning underscores the perceived escalation of risks faced by those who openly challenge the Kremlin from abroad.

The situation reflects a broader pattern of concern regarding the safety of Russian opposition figures operating outside of the country. Kasparov’s comments serve as a reminder of the personal stakes involved for individuals who maintain a high-profile stance against the Russian government. As of now, there has been no official comment from the Kremlin regarding Kasparov's claims, nor have US intelligence agencies provided specific details on the nature of the threats mentioned.
