    From the article…

    A city court in Syktyvkar, the largest city in Russia’s northwestern Komi region, is charging Kasparov of “creating a terrorist society, leading it, financing terrorist activities, and publicly justifying them,” according to Kremlin-backed outlet TASS.

    Its getting rediculous how countries trump up charges against their enemies.
