A New Calling for a Former Russian Spy

Russian secret agent Anna Chapman spent several years living in London and New York trying to blend in. Back in her home country since last July, she has done anything but.
The flame-haired 29-year-old was a member of a 10-person sleeper cell that was expelled from the U.S. almost a year ago. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin feted Chapman and her colleagues on their return, leading them in an impromptu round of Soviet-era patriotic songs. The agents would likely land "respectable" jobs and lead "bright and interesting lives," Putin later told reporters.
