一位流亡美国的俄罗斯反对派人士表示,美国和立陶宛安全部门曾警告他生命受到威胁。
An exiled Russian opposition figure living in the US says he was warned by American and Lithuanian security services that his life was in danger.
前国际象棋世界冠军加里·卡斯帕罗夫表示,他是被建议采取预防措施的两名异见人士之一,而他已照做。
Former chess world champion Garry Kasparov said he was one of two dissidents told to take precautions, which he had done.
他发表上述言论之前,美国司法部本月早些时候公布了一份起诉书,指控五名据称为克里姆林宫工作的人员策划在美国等国家实施袭击和谋杀,目标聚焦于俄罗斯异见人士和叛逃者。
His comments come after the US Justice Department unsealed an indictment earlier this month charging five people who allegedly work for the Kremlin with plotting attacks and murders in countries including the US, focusing on Russian dissidents and defectors.
卡斯帕罗夫在其Substack上写道,他并未被明确告知自己和“自由俄罗斯论坛”联合创始人伊万·秋特林被视为目标,但表示两人都收到了关于自身安全的警告。
Kasparov wrote on his Substack that he had not been told explicitly that he and Free Russia Forum co-founder Ivan Tyutrin were considered targets, but said both had been warned about their safety.
西班牙《世界报》报道称,该报获得的信息显示,卡斯帕罗夫以及另一位俄罗斯反对派人物伊利亚·波诺马廖夫在今年夏天被美国当局警告存在暗杀阴谋。
Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported that it had obtained information that Kasparov, along with another Russian opposition figure, Ilya Ponomarev, had been warned about the plot over the summer by US authorities.
该报援引接近卡斯帕罗夫的消息人士称,他在今年夏天首次自移居美国以来被置于加强保护之下。
Citing sources close to Kasparov, the paper said he had been placed under enhanced protection over the summer for the first time since he moved to the US.
卡斯帕罗夫另行写道:“我不会停下,也不会躲藏,即使我认为这样做是可能的。”
Kasparov wrote separately: "I will not stop and I will not hide, even if I thought it was possible to do so.
“只要(俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔)普京还在俄罗斯掌权,我和我的家人就不会真正安全——数百万人也面临同样的处境。”卡斯帕罗夫于2005年退出竞技国际象棋,转而从政,创立了公开反对普京的运动,随后于2013年逃离俄罗斯。
"My family and I will not truly be safe as long as [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is in power in Russia - a circumstance shared by millions." Kasparov retired from competitive chess in 2005 to pursue a career in politics, founding movements that openly opposed Putin before fleeing Russia in 2013.
此后他再未返回。2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰后,俄方将其列为“外国代理人”,随后又在2024年将其列入恐怖分子和极端分子名单——他对这两项定性均予以否认。
He has not returned since. Russia has classed him as a foreign agent following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and subsequently added him to a list of terrorists and extremists in 2024 - both categorisations he rejects.
另一位据报道被列为目标的波诺马廖夫,是2014年唯一投票反对非法吞并克里米亚的俄罗斯议员,此后流亡乌克兰。
The other reported target, Ponomarev, was the only Russian MP who voted against the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 and went into exile in Ukraine.
他拒绝向《莫斯科时报》证实或否认自己是否曾收到关于所谓阴谋的风声,但他表示,这些指控标志着俄罗斯采取了“新级别的升级”。
He declined to confirm or deny to the Moscow Times whether he had been tipped off about the alleged plot but said the allegations marked "a new level of escalation" by Russia.
美国司法部表示,一个为俄罗斯情报部门效力的个人网络至少自2024年以来一直在运作。
A network of individuals working for the Russian intelligence services has operated since at least 2024, the US Justice Department said.
司法部称,这个所谓的RIS网络一直在策划并对世界各地的俄罗斯异见人士和叛逃者实施袭击和谋杀。
It said the so-called RIS Network had been conspiring and conducting attacks and murders on Russian dissidents and defectors around the world.
国家安全事务助理司法部长约翰·A·艾森伯格(John A Eisenberg)表示,该网络的五名嫌疑成员被指控“作为一个全球暗杀网络的一部分,该网络触角延伸至美国,试图招募美国公民和外国人按照克里姆林宫的旨意实施暗杀”。
Five alleged members of the network had been accused of operating "as part of a global assassination network that reached into the United States, attempting to recruit US citizens and foreigners to carry out killings at the behest of the Kremlin", Assistant Attorney General for national security John A Eisenberg said.
被指控负责策划这些阴谋的五人分别是尤里·赫拉梅耶夫(Yuri Khrameev)、基里尔·赫拉梅耶夫(Kirill Khrameev)、奥米斯·罗马戈萨·杜鲁蒂(Oemis Romagoza Durruthy)、亚德尔·德尔加多·苏亚雷斯(Yaidel Delgado Suarez)和安赫尔·爱德华多·卡斯特罗(Angel Eduardo Castro)。司法部表示,这五人目前仍然在逃。
The five people alleged to be responsible for organising the plots are Yuri Khrameev, Kirill Khrameev, Oemis Romagoza Durruthy, Yaidel Delgado Suarez and Angel Eduardo Castro. All five remain at large, the Justice Department said.
克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫在起诉书解密时表示,在听到或看到“任何可信的证据”或“切实的犯罪事实”之前,他不会对这些指控发表评论。
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when the indictment was unsealed that he would not comment on the charges until he had heard or seen "any credible evidence" or "tangible facts".
