10月1日——俄罗斯反对派人士、前国际象棋世界冠军加里·卡斯帕罗夫周三表示，在发生一起疑似针对居住在俄罗斯境外的克里姆林宫反对者的暗杀阴谋后，美国和立陶宛的安全部门警告他生命受到威胁。
Oct 1 - Russian opposition figure and former world chess champion Garry Kasparov said on Wednesday that security services in the US and Lithuania had warned him that his life was in danger following a suspected plot against Kremlin opponents living outside Russia.
上月，美国当局表示，已就据称涉及俄罗斯情报机构的暗杀阴谋起诉五人。两名遭暗杀的目标分别身处美国和立陶宛；据称，俄方付钱招募人员对两人进行监视。
US authorities said last month they had charged five people over alleged plots involving Russian intelligence to assassinate two opposition figures, one in the US and the other in Lithuania, after paying recruits to carry out surveillance on both of them.
未经证实的媒体报道列出了可能的目标，其中包括居住在纽约的卡斯帕罗夫、以乌克兰为据点但经常赴美的异议人士伊利亚·波诺马廖夫，以及以立陶宛为据点的反对派活动人士伊万·秋特林。
Unconfirmed media reports have named the possible targets as Kasparov, who lives in New York; Ilya Ponomaryov, a dissident who is based in Ukraine but travels regularly to the US; and Ivan Tyutrin, an opposition activist based in Lithuania.
63岁的卡斯帕罗夫在 Substack 平台上发文称，他和秋特林并未被告知自己是明确的目标。
Kasparov, 63, wrote in a Substack post that he and Tyutrin were not told they were explicit targets.
“然而，立陶宛和美国的安全部门警告我们生命面临危险，应该采取预防措施。”他写道。
"We were, however, warned by security services in Lithuania and the US that our lives were in danger and that we should take precautions," he wrote.
“但我不会停下，也不会躲藏……我会继续竭尽所能，号召自由世界反对普京杀人的独裁统治。”卡斯帕罗夫补充说。俄罗斯已将卡斯帕罗夫列入“外国代理人”以及“恐怖分子和极端分子”名单。
"But I will not stop and I will not hide... I will continue to do everything I can to rally the free world against Putin's murderous dictatorship," added Kasparov, whom Russia has placed on its lists of "foreign agents" and "terrorists and extremists".
上月，克里姆林宫表示，在缺乏其所谓可信证据和事实的情况下，没有理由评论美国的指控。俄罗斯此前曾否认在包括美国在内的外国境内策划此类阴谋。
The Kremlin said last month it saw no reason to comment on the US allegations in the absence of what it called credible evidence and facts. Russia has previously denied conducting such plots on foreign soil, including in the US.
