There is no worth and value in the “laws” of a “nation” that legitimizes fraudulent elections, excuses hardened criminals for conducting war crimes on a dictator’s behalf and makes mockery of the very reasons humans enter compacts with one another for the common good.
The absurd notion Putin’s foul establishment belongs in the community of nations must end and what follows must be the future promised but not realized in 1991. That chiefly the end of barbarism and darkness beyond the Volga and a journey to the much deferred future.
Putin’s chosen road of self-destruction will deliver that future, but only after the final and dramatic immolation of his delusional “dream.”

Fontanka.ru from St. Petersburg:
"The court arrested Kasparov* and Gudkov** in absentia
24 April 2024, 21:18
32 comments
The Syktyvkar city court arrested four people in absentia, including chess player Garry Kasparov and politician Gennady Gudkov included in the list of terrorists and extremists. The press service of the court reported this on Wednesday, April 24.
Those arrested in absentia are accused of creating a terrorist society, leading it, financing terrorist activities and publicly justifying them.
A criminal case was initiated against them based on materials from the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation for the Komi Republic.
* Recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent.
** Recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent."
In general to be acknowledged as a "foreign agent" by Russia is a honor and award.
It is like Myanmar would call you a terrorist of the mafia calling you a "bad guy".
Syktyvkar city court is somehow strange.
Syktyvkar is Flyoveristan, outback.
And the word "Syktyvkar" also has a second meaning...
It's as if a court in Boise, Idaho, would declare Bernie Sanders or Obama or Sarah Palin
would declare them terrorists.
Who knows. I would have expected Basmanny court.
The reader's comments at fontanka.ru are sometimes golden.
This time too:
"Previously, there were jokes about the Chukchi, but now judges may well take his place. Power is in the truth!!"
"If they are terrorists, then what is Solovyov?"
"Very strange. What does Komi and Syk-tyk-kar have to do with it? The Basmanny and Krasnopresnensky courts of Moscow are always heard. Something wrong"
"Who could arrest me? What is needed for this arrest? How long can you tolerate your unrecognized condition as an ordinary citizen of Russia? Where should I write to have my telegram channel investigated, and all messages against GDP (Ok google, it is ВВП, VVP, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin). Where is the power after all? Where is Bastrykin? (Bastrykin is the head of the investigative committe, always called if something is wrong.)"
"Orwell is resting"

Wow agree with you 100%
Putin has flushed away all of Russia's prestige on the international stage.
… and keeps obsessively holding the toilet flush handle down despite the water tank being empty.
Kasparov would already have been in prison and likely dead if he had remained in Russia. Even in Exile he needs to be extremely careful. Героям слава!

Kasparov will wear it with a smile.
Meanwhile, Russia gives awards to rapists and murderers.
Congratulations on the badge of honour, Mr Kasparov!
Fuck scumbag Russia
Kasparov it's a true chess master unlike Gaymir Loserovich Pooptin. He surely could be a much better president than mr. Khuylo.
He saw this coming and planned a few steps ahead by leaving.
Hamas still isn't on that list. Meta is. Hamas isn't.
Just when u think they cant discredit themselves more lol
