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.

Why is there a license in your comment?

A lack of understanding about how copyright and licensing works.

It's like the people who used to put messages about preventing Facebook from using their content in their profile descriptions. It probably won't actually do anything, but it's a nice thought and more power to them if it makes them feel better.

"more power to them" it it makes them feel better.

What a funny statement. "More power to them" while it won't do anything because they dont have the power to prevent facebook doing what its doing so its just making them feel better.

You only believe that because you are a brainwashed imperialist.
