巴黎：克里姆林宫批评人士、国际象棋传奇人物加里·卡斯帕罗夫周四（10月1日）表示，美国和立陶宛的安全部门已告知他和他的盟友，他们的生命正处于危险之中，并敦促他们采取安全防范措施。
PARIS: Kremlin critic and chess legend Garry Kasparov said on Thursday (Oct 1) that US 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”联合创始人伊万·秋特林被列入暗杀目标名单的消息虽然并未让我感到意外，但依然令人震惊，”这位63岁的人士在社交媒体上写道。
"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," the 63-year-old said on social media.
“立陶宛和美国安全部门通知我们，我们的生命处于危险之中，我们应该采取预防措施，”目前流亡美国的卡斯帕罗夫说。“我确实这样做了，未来我也会继续这样做。”他现年45岁、常驻维尔纽斯的盟友秋特林告诉法新社，立陶宛当局两周前曾警告他“紧急离开住所并处理掉自己的汽车”。
"Lithuanian and US security services informed us that our lives were in danger and that we should take precautionary measures," said Kasparov, who lives in exile in the United States. "I did exactly that, and I will continue to do so in the future." His Vilnius-based ally Tyutrin, 45, told AFP the Lithuanian authorities had warned him two weeks ago to "leave my home urgently and get rid of my car".
在此警告发出之前，美国司法部于9月中旬宣布对五名涉嫌俄罗斯情报人员提起诉讼，指控他们密谋在全球各地（包括美国境内）实施袭击和谋杀。
The warnings came after the US Department of Justice in mid-September announced charges against five alleged agents of Russian intelligence accused of conspiring to carry out attacks and murders around the world, including in the United States.
美国司法部表示，该团伙今年夏天曾试图以约4万美元的报酬，谋杀一名居住在美国的“知名俄罗斯异见人士”。美国当局并未透露这位克里姆林宫批评者的姓名，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。“暗杀阴谋”西班牙《世界报》周三援引接近卡斯帕罗夫的消息来源称，俄罗斯特工曾密谋暗杀他以及从俄罗斯议员转变为批评人士的伊利亚·波诺马廖夫。
The group attempted to have a "prominent Russian dissident" living in the United States murdered this summer in exchange for an estimated US$40,000, 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. "ASSASSINATION PLOT" 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.
“伊万和我都没有被明确告知，我们就是那些在针对暗杀阴谋实施者的起诉书中被隐去姓名的人，”卡斯帕罗夫说。
"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.
卡斯帕罗夫曾称俄罗斯为“法西斯国家”，他于2005年从国际象棋界退役，转而投身政治活动，并在纽约流亡了十多年。
Kasparov - who has called Russia "fascist" - retired from chess in 2005 to focus on political activism and has lived in exile in New York for more than a decade.
2014年俄罗斯吞并克里米亚后，卡斯帕罗夫与秋特林于2016年共同创立了“自由俄罗斯论坛”，该组织主张支持乌克兰军队并组织反战会议。
After Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, Kasparov and Tyutrin in 2016 founded the Free Russia Forum, which advocates support for the Ukrainian military and organises anti-war conferences.
在俄罗斯对乌克兰发动全面入侵三年后，俄罗斯于2025年将该论坛列入了“恐怖”组织名单。
Three years into the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine Russia put the forum on a list of "terrorist" organisations in 2025.
华盛顿方面披露的这起所谓阴谋，似乎标志着俄罗斯在针对异见人士以及在西方领土上开展行动的范围方面均有所升级。
The alleged plot revealed by Washington appears to mark an escalation both in the targeting of dissidents and the reach of Russian operations on Western soil.
尽管俄罗斯安全部门多次在欧洲各地针对克里姆林宫的反对者，但几十年来，美国一直被视为禁区。“一瓶汽油”美国司法部还表示，俄罗斯特工去年曾试图在立陶宛谋杀一名目标，仅被称为“受害者2号”。
While Russian security services have repeatedly targeted Kremlin opponents across Europe, the United States has remained off-limits for decades. "BOTTLE OF GASOLINE" The US Department of Justice also said the Russian agents last year were trying to have murdered a target in Lithuania, identified only as "Victim-2".
其中一名俄罗斯特工向一名美国公民提供2.5万美元，要求其杀害“受害者2号”，并建议该美国公民可以通过向其“投掷一瓶汽油”或“用刀捅他”来实施谋杀。由于该美国公民拒绝执行谋杀任务，这一阴谋最终破产。秋特林表示，他不知道自己是否就是“受害者2号”。
One of the Russian agents offered a US citizen $25,000 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. The plot fell apart because the US citizen refused to carry out the murder. Tyutrin said he did not know if he was "Victim-2".
他说，目前细节仍然很少，但他毫不怀疑俄罗斯安全部门正试图因他支持乌克兰而对他进行惩罚。
He said details remained scarce, but he had no doubt Russian security services were seeking to punish him for his support of Ukraine.
“很明显，莫斯科是这一切的幕后黑手，也很明显，有一份需要被清除的人员名单，”他说。
"It is clear that Moscow is behind this and it's clear that there is a list of people to be eliminated," he said.
“我相信名单上排在最前面的人，就是那些对政权立场最强硬、对乌克兰支持力度最大的人。” 在联邦调查局的跟踪下，卡斯帕罗夫和秋特林都指出，随着莫斯科对乌克兰的战争进入第五个年头且外交陷入僵局，克里姆林宫针对西方的影子活动近期有所激增。
"I believe those at the top of the list are the people who have taken the hardest line against the regime and the strongest stance in support of Ukraine." FOLLOWED BY FBI Both Kasparov and Tyutrin pointed to a recent spike in the Kremlin's shadow activities against the West, with Moscow's war against Ukraine in its fifth year and diplomacy stalled.
秋特林说：“这可能是破坏局势稳定、恐吓民众，并展示西方无力保护其承诺保护对象这一更广泛计划的一部分。”
"This may be part of a broader plan to destabilise the situation, intimidate people, and demonstrate the West's inability to protect those it has committed itself to protecting," Tyutrin said.
他说，他第一次收到立陶宛方面的危险警告是在2023年，当时他协助为与乌克兰军队并肩作战的俄罗斯人筹集资金，并于次年访问了乌克兰前线。
He said he was first warned by Lithuania that he was in danger after he helped raise money for Russians fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in 2023 and then visited the Ukrainian front the following year.
随后，在2024年4月访问美国时，他在纽约肯尼迪机场受到了联邦调查局（FBI）特工的接触。
Then, on a visit to the United States in April 2024, he was approached by FBI agents at JFK airport in New York.
他们表示，由于他被认为容易受到攻击，在他访问期间将对他提供保护。
They said he would be protected for the duration of his trip because he was deemed vulnerable to an attack.
“他们说，‘我们不希望这种事发生在美国领土上，’”他说。“我被联邦调查局特工跟踪保护了两周。”回到立陶宛后，秋特林被置于国家保护之下。几个月后，安保人员撤离。
"They said, 'We don't want this to happen on the territory of the United States," he said. "I was followed by FBI agents for two weeks." Upon his return to Lithuania, Tyutrin was placed under state protection. The security detail was withdrawn several months later.
他说，在最近一次警告之后，立陶宛没有提供同等程度的保护。尽管如此，他表示仍然感谢这个收留他的国家。“我很感激他们通知我，”他说。“有备无患。”
He said Lithuania did not provide the same level of protection following the most recent warning. Nonetheless, he said he remained grateful to his host country. "I am grateful to them for informing me," he said. "Forewarned is forearmed."
