It's very funny that they essentially are so similar, even with near identical "motive"
The phantom time hypothesis is a historical conspiracy theory asserted by Heribert Illig. First published in 1991, it hypothesizes a conspiracy by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, Pope Sylvester II, and possibly the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII,[further explanation needed] to fabricate the Anno Domini dating system retroactively, in order to place them at the special year of AD 1000, and to rewrite history[1] to legitimize Otto's claim to the Holy Roman Empire.
The [Fomenkoist] theory further proposes that world history prior to AD 1600 has been widely falsified to suit the interests of a number of different conspirators including the Vatican, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Russian House of Romanov, all working to obscure the "true" history of the world centered around a global empire called the "Russian Horde".
but the whole "Everything cool and good ever developed was actually thanks to the super Russians" aspect of Fomenkoism is :chefs-kiss:
not only did Kasparov take Solzhenitsyn like gospel, he also started a pro liberal democracy think tank

the conspiracy theory is called the phantom time hypothesis and it's supposedly a large chunk of the middle ages fabricated including charlemagne
I am fairly certain that Kasparov is into New Chronology or Fomenkoism , not Phatnom Time Hypothesis. Similar but different crankery.
Lol I'm somehow glad there's multiple of these crackpot alt-chronologies, the world isn't sane enough for just one of these beauties.

new chronology
doing cold hard statistical analysis until you have proven that Rome is actually Moscow
