Arkady Dvorkovich, a former deputy prime minister of Russia, has spoken out against the war in Ukraine using terms currently banned by Russian officials.
some chess players have petitioned for Dvorkovich, who served in the Kremlin for 10 years, to resign as FIDE president due to his Kremlin ties, with 28 Ukrainian grandmasters signing a letter calling for his resignation. As a result, he has worked to distance himself from the Kremlin. The report added that he will seek reelection as the FIDE president this year.
Dvorkovich used the term"war" in his interview and in a statement he made on behalf of the FIDE despite the Russian ban on the term, risking a Russian backlash.that Russian authorities have been arresting anti-war activists even when the signs they are holding are blank. "FIDE stands united against this war and all wars, and condemns any use of military means to resolve political conflicts," Dvorkovich said in the statement."I know that many connections have been broken already. And some friendships are hardly to be reinstalled. But I dream of seeing Ukrainian and Russian players competing again with each other. Not against each other, but together."Update 03/15/22 5:45 p.m. ET: This story was updated to add more information.
