克里姆林宫的批评者、国际象棋传奇人物加里·卡斯帕罗夫于10月1日（星期四）表示，美国和立陶宛的安全机构曾警告他和他的盟友他们的生命处于危险之中，并敦促他们采取安全措施。
Kremlin critic and chess legend Garry Kasparov said on Thursday, October 1st, that the United States and Lithuanian security services had told him and his ally that their lives were in danger and urged them to take security precautions.
“我和我的长期合作伙伴、‘自由俄罗斯论坛’的联合创始人伊万·秋特林被列入暗杀目标名单的消息并没有让我感到意外，但仍然令人震惊，”卡斯帕罗夫在社交媒体上写道。“立陶宛和美国的安全机构告诉我们，我们的生命安全受到威胁，我们应该采取预防措施。我确实采取了这些措施，并且将来也会继续这样做。”现年63岁的卡斯帕罗夫是在美国司法部于9月中旬宣布对五名涉嫌为俄罗斯情报机构工作的特工提起诉讼后发表这番声明的。这些特工被指控密谋在全球范围内（包括美国）发动袭击和谋杀。
"News that I, along with my longtime associate and co-founder of the Free Russia Forum, Ivan Tyutrin, are on a list of assassination targets did not come as a surprise to me, but it is nevertheless a shock," Kasparov said on social media. "Lithuanian and US security services informed us that our lives were in danger and that we should take precautionary measures. I did exactly that, and I will continue to do so in the future." Kasparov, 63, published the statement after the US Department of Justice in mid-September announced charges against five alleged agents for Russian intelligence accused of conspiring to carry out attacks and murders around the world, including in the United States.
美国司法部称，该组织曾试图在今年夏天谋杀一名居住在美国的“著名俄罗斯异见人士”。美国当局没有公开这名克里姆林宫批评者的身份，仅将其称为“受害者1号”。其中一名被告是俄罗斯联邦安全局（FSB）的官员。
The group attempted to have a "prominent Russian dissident" living in the United States murdered this summer, the department said. The US authorities did not name the Kremlin critic, only identifying him as "Victim-1." One of the defendants is an officer of Russia's FSB security service.
西班牙《世界报》周三援引接近卡斯帕罗夫的消息人士的话报道称，俄罗斯特工还策划谋杀他以及另一位从俄罗斯议员转为批评者的伊利亚·波诺马廖夫。
Spanish newspaper El Mundo said Wednesday, citing sources close to Kasparov, that Russian agents had plotted to murder him as well as former Russian lawmaker-turned-critic Ilya Ponomaryov.
“无论是伊万还是我，都没有被明确告知我们就是那份起诉书中所提到的、被隐藏在被告名单中的那个人，”卡斯帕罗夫说。2016年，卡斯帕罗夫和秋特林共同创立了“自由俄罗斯论坛”，该组织致力于支持乌克兰军队并组织反战活动。2023年，俄罗斯将这一组织列为“不良组织”，并在2025年将其列入“恐怖组织”名单。
Escalation "Neither Ivan nor I were explicitly told that we were the individuals whose names are concealed in the indictment against those accused of carrying out the assassination plot," Kasparov said. In 2016, Kasparov and Tyutrin founded the Free Russia Forum, which advocates support for the Ukrainian military and organizes anti-war conferences. In 2023, Russia designated the forum an "undesirable organization" and put it on a list of "terrorist" organizations in 2025.
美国当局披露的所谓阴谋似乎标志着在针对异见人士的打击以及俄罗斯在西方领土上的行动范围方面均出现了升级。虽然俄罗斯安全机构曾多次在欧洲各地针对克里姆林宫的反对者，但几十年来美国一直属于“禁区”。
The alleged plot revealed by the US authorities appears to mark an escalation both in the targeting of dissidents and the reach of Russian operations on Western soil. While Russian security services have repeatedly targeted Kremlin opponents across Europe, the United States has remained off-limits for decades.
美国司法部还表示，俄罗斯特工试图在立陶宛谋杀一名仅被确认为“受害者-2”的目标。一名俄罗斯特工向一名美国公民提供2.5万美元（约合2.2万欧元）以杀害“受害者-2”，建议该美国公民可以通过“扔一个汽油瓶”向他或“捅一刀”来谋杀他。
The US Department of Justice also said the Russian agents were trying to murder a target in Lithuania, identified only as "Victim-2." One of the Russian agents offered a US citizen $25,000 (about €22,000) to kill "Victim-2," suggesting the US citizen could murder him by "throwing a bottle of gasoline" at him or "sticking a knife" in him.
居住在维尔纽斯流亡的秋特林对法新社表示，他不知道自己是否就是“受害者-2”。但他表示，在美国发布声明后，立陶宛曾警告他，“我需要紧急离开家并处理掉我的车”。
Speaking to Agence France-Presse, Tyutrin, who lives in exile in Vilnius, said he did not know if he was "Victim-2." But he said Lithuania had warned him after the US announcement was made that "I needed to leave my home urgently and get rid of my car."
