Garry Kasparov, the former chess champion and Russian dissident, reported receiving warnings from American and Lithuanian security services about threats to his life. This follows a recent indictment by the US Justice Department against five individuals linked to a Kremlin-affiliated network accused of plotting attacks on Russian dissidents worldwide.
Kasparov's warnings highlight the escalating risks for dissidents. Readers should monitor the US Justice Department's actions against the RIS Network and any potential responses from the Kremlin. Increased security measures for dissidents may become a norm as tensions rise.
