Russian spy Anna Chapman films risqué video in Moscow
Anna Chapman, the Russian spy deported from the US, has been filmed wearing revealing clothes for a magazine shoot
The woman at the centre of one of the most intriguing spying scandals since the cold war reappeared last night after video footage was leaked showing her taking part in a photo-shoot for a Russian men’s magazine.
Anna Chapman, who was swapped in June in the biggest spy exchange between Moscow and Washington for decades, was filmed posing in a series of low-cut dresses and mini-skirts.
The shoot for the magazine Heat took place earlier this month in Moscow in the five-star Balchug Hotel, overlooking the Kremlin.
Tonight the Russian news portal lifenews.ru published a video, in which Chapman, wearing a sequinned turquoise mini-dress, poses with a pair of suitably spy-like dark glasses. In another frame, she sits by the window with the Kremlin’s spires and towers in the background.
In breathless Russian prose, lifenews.ru last night described Chapman as “the girl about whom thousands of men dream” and described the session as “sensational”.
Since returning to Moscow on 9 July, Chapman has vanished from sight – while making it clear via intermediaries that she was ready to sell her story if the right offer came along.
A diplomat’s daughter, Chapman was the most high-profile of 10 Russian “sleepers” arrested in America in June after being caught trying to embed themselves in American society while secretly reporting to the Kremlin and leading double lives.
The first clue that Chapman was in Moscow surfaced this week when she posted a photo taken during the session on her Facebook page.
According to lifenews.ru, Heat is now taking legal action against Chapman, accusing her of breach of copyright. It is not clear when the magazine’s exclusive with the 28-year-old spy, who spent several years working in London and is a former employee of Barclays Bank, will appear.
It is also uncertain whether Chapman’s employer, Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service, gave its blessing to the session.
None of the other nine Russians have broken cover; reports suggest they are being kept at a safe house in the capital.
Last month, Russia’s prime minister Vladimir Putin revealed he had met the spies and that they had enjoyed a patriotic singsong.
Russia’s last celebrity spy, Andrei Lugovoi – accused of murdering the Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko in London in November 2006 – is now a deputy in Russia’s parliament. There seems little doubt that Chapman could follow a similar route and embark on a political career. Her initial plan to fly to Britain after she was unmasked was thwarted when London made clear she wasn’t welcome.
Lifenews.ru last night also published still photos of Chapman’s latest modelling session. It said the spy had agreed to a photo-shoot but, apparently under pressure from her superiors, had declined to give an interview.
