Le Repos du guerrier

On Saturday, May 10, 2025, 12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov, in his capacity as Honorary President of the Soviet Peace Foundation, conceded an interview to the French TV channel GPTV. The channel is popular not only in France, but also in Africa and Middle East.
The interview took place in Moscow, Russia — where the day before the GPTV crew had followed the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of Victory Day Parade on Red Square.

Apparently, the interview with Karpov has not yet been released (but hopefully it will be soon!). So far, there is only footage of the Victory Parade: https://youtu.be/N0g5SpjS4xI?si=r_fDky3kDI_ysvTq
