----------------------------------------------
Anna Vasilyevna Chapman ( Russian: ?´??? ????´?????? ??´????, born Anna Vasil’yevna Kushchyenko 23 February 1982) is a Russian intelligence agent, media personality, and model who gained notoriety after being arrested in the United States as part of the Illegals Program spy ring. At the time of her arrest she was accused of espionage on behalf of the Russian Federation's external intelligence agency, the Sluzhba vneshney razvedki (SVR). [2] [4] [5] She had previously gained British citizenship through marriage (since revoked) and used this to gain residency in the U.S.
Chapman pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government. She and the other Russians were deported to Russia on 8 July 2010, as part of the 2010 Russia – US prisoner swap. Learning that Chapman had wanted to return to the United Kingdom, the UK government revoked her British citizenship and excluded her from the country.
Since her return to Russia, Chapman has worked in a variety of fields, including for the government as head of a youth council, a catwalk model in Russian fashion shows, and running a television series.
...............
Chapman was born Anna Vasil’yevna Kushchyenko ( Russian: ?´??? ????´?????? ???????) in Volgograd on 23 February 1982. [6] Her father was a senior KGB official employed in the Soviet embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. [7] [8] The family's home is located in south-west Ramenki District, a once-elite district for KGB officials, mid-ranking diplomats, and army officers. [9]
..............
In 2009 Anna Chapman moved to New York, taking up residence at 20 Exchange Place, one block from Wall Street in Manhattan. [15] [16] Her LinkedIn social networking site profile identified her as CEO of PropertyFinder LLC, a website selling real estate internationally. [16] [17] Her husband Alex has stated that Anna told him the enterprise was continually in debt for the first couple of years. But suddenly in 2009, she had as many as 50 employees and a successful business. [3]
She is reported to have been dating Michel Bittan, a prominent New York restaurant owner. [18] She later described her time in the United States with the Charles Dickens quote, "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times". [19] [20]
After Anna was arrested in New York on charges of spying, Alex hired media publicist Max Clifford, and sold her story to The Daily Telegraph. [3] [21] [22] She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the U.S. Attorney General. In 2010 she was deported to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange between the United States and Russia.
.............
In late December 2010 Chapman was appointed to the public council of Young Guard of United Russia. [23] [24] According to the organization, she would "be engaged in educating young people". [25] [26]
On 21 January 2011, Chapman began hosting a weekly TV show in Russia called Secrets of the World for REN TV. [4] [27] In June 2011, Chapman was appointed as editor of Venture Business News magazine, according to Bloomberg News. [28] [29]
Chapman testified to the closed trial in absentia of Col. Alexander Poteyev, an ex-KGB soldier, which took place in Moscow in May and June 2011. [30] Chapman testified that only Poteyev could have provided the U.S. authorities with the information that led to her arrest in 2010; [31] she also alleged that she was arrested shortly after an undercover U.S. agent contacted her using a code that only Poteyev and her personal handler would have known. [31]
Chapman wrote a column for Komsomolskaya Pravda. In October 2011, she was accused of plagiarizing material on Alexander Pushkin from a book by Kremlin spin doctor Oleg Matveychev. [32] The Guardian reported that this incident added to general negative opinions of her in certain sections of Russian society; it said that in September 2011, she had been "heckled during a speech on leadership at St Petersburg University". Students had, it said, displayed signs stating: "Chapman, get out of the university!", and " The Kremlin and the porn studio are in the other direction!" [32]
In 2012, FBI counter-intelligence chief Frank Figliuzzi said that Chapman almost caught a senior member of President Barack Obama's cabinet in a honey trap operation. This was reported as a primary motive behind the government's action to round up the ten-person spy ring in which she was a member. The plan reportedly would have involved Chapman seducing her target before extracting information from him. [33] Subsequent reporting suggested that these initial reports were sensational misinterpretation. Officials from the US Department of Justice claimed that the FBI's concern was that another of the alleged spies, Cynthia Murphy, "had been in contact with a fundraiser and 'personal friend' of Hillary Clinton". [34]
.............
Magazines and blogs detailed Chapman's fashion style and dress sense, while tabloids displayed her action figure dolls. [21] [53] [54] [55] Chapman was described by local media in New York as "stunning" and a regular of exclusive bars and restaurants. [53] [54] [56] US Vice President Joe Biden, when jokingly asked by Jay Leno on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, "Do we have any spies that hot?", replied jokingly, "Let me be clear. It was not my idea to send her back." [57]
As a model, Chapman posed on the cover of Russian version of Maxim magazine in Agent Provocateur lingerie. The magazine included Chapman in its list of "Russia's 100 sexiest women." [58] [59] Chapman has also made an appearance as a runway model for Moscow Fashion Week at the Shiyan & Rudkovskaya show in 2011, [60] and for Antalya at the Dosso Dossi in 2012. [61]
Chapman has parlayed her media capital through Twitter, where she asked Edward Snowden to marry her, [62] [63] and on Instagram, which she has used to voice her political opinions. [64]

Shortly before the 2016 election, Anna Chapman produced the following social media message:
anya.chapmanIn an interview with Russia Today ,Julian Assange said that Trump won't be allowed to win because Clinton is being backed by banks, intelligence services, arms companies and foreign money. Meanwhile, Trump has pushed everyone away.
Many people think that Trump doesn't have a chance at winning, because he is not part of the establishment, he is a loner politician, who has only his own support. But the American political system has so many filters that a truly independent person has no chances at winning.
Trump is a politician who has the backing of forces just as influential as those behind Clinton. The only difference is that they like to keep a low profile, because their vision of the future world order means a revolution in US foreign policy. And after that revolution happens, there will be no room for people like Clinton, who has blood on their hands.
See, she hates Hillary so she must be a friend who wants to MAGA. . /sarc |
