Political activist Kasparov, who is considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time, is a well-known critic of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, and is reportedly looking to secure Croatian citizenship. Kasparov spends most summers in the Dalmatian town of Makarska, and has a good understanding of the Croatian language. One interesting point is that Kasparov, who has lived outside of Russia for the last few years, applied for Latvian citizenship in October 2013.
