Russia Labels Garry Kasparov a 'Terrorist and Extremist'

The former world chess champion and Kremlin critic has been living in exile in the United States.

Russia has added Garry Kasparov, a vocal critic of the Kremlin and former world chess champion, to its list of 'terrorists and extremists.'
Kasparov, who has been living in exile in the United States, views the listing as an 'honor' that reflects more on Putin's regime than on himself.
The listing restricts Kasparov's banking transactions in Russia, requiring approval for each access to his accounts.
Kasparov has been active in the Russian opposition since retiring from chess in 2005 and has called for international action against Putin's regime.
Russia's actions against Kasparov are part of a broader crackdown on political opponents, including labeling them as 'foreign agents' and 'terrorists.'
