I'm struggling to understand your objections to the title. The headline says that it is the first time in chess an opponent was attacked with mercury, and that the perpetrator was Russian. I'm not clear what your interpretation is.
If we are to believe the article, poisoning an opponent has not happened before, so "In world first" is justified.
Mentioning the nationality is common in news reporting. Maybe look up the "Florida Man" meme and don't be sore anymore.
