Anna Chapman, and “sultry Russian secret agent,” which hit the headlines last year after he was working as a deep cover in the United States, says it does not bear ill will towards the man who cheated on her. And why should she? Since his release as part of a great spy swap in Vienna in July 2010, was the daughter of flame hair to the Russian diplomat is rarely far from the limelight, taking in a number of lucrative job offers and positioning itself to move to the big-time politics. “It was the beginning of something great and beautiful,” Chapman poured in a television program last Russian. Or, as it says on its Web site recently launched: “The day I returned to Moscow, Holiday AD II.”
It was not difficult to predict that good things just waiting Chapman were once safely back in Russia. The President of the Council of State that the country with full force, Vladimir Putin, said that Chapman and her former comrades “work in places of worth” and her “bright, interesting lives.”
And went on to say “Every one of those people through the difficult time … in the interests of their homeland,” said Putin, a former officer of the KGB. When told that a number of former colleagues rewarded with posts going in the state-run companies, it is Chapman’s star, which rose much higher.
After a month of being deported, and joined with Putin Spies failure for an evening of singing type, where the song droned together the Soviet era – and is the official anthem of the Russian intelligence service – “where to start the motherland.” After a warm night, things moved quickly to Chapman. Has been awarded the highest state honor by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who posed for sex – and profitable – pictures of men’s magazines, and handed her peak times, the private television show. She, however, rejected a role in a porn movie, despite being made a “significant” fee from the company’s live adult entertainment film.
Chapman was also the face of the youth movement of the ruling United Russia party, and was nominated for a seat in parliament in the upcoming elections. On top of all this, she recorded her surname as a trademark, the application was knocked out of poker and a large number of products Chapman and acquisitions, including watches, perfumes, vodka, and is expected to reach stores soon. Russian 29-year-districts have also agent Max Clifford for treatment of type “business”, which includes interviews and highly paid photo shoots.
The irony is, of course, Anna Chapman is a reward to do their job badly. Not only were they deceived by the FBI in blowing her cover, but apparently failed to attend any useful information to Moscow. He was not espionage charges against a member of one of the spy ring, and there is no indication that it has been access to any confidential information. The prosecution instead to the settlement of the charges of “failure to declare the case and Foreign Secretary” and money laundering. Were exchanged Chapman and other agents from nine to just four American spies. And Vice President Joe Biden: “We came back four really good ones and 10, who has been here a long time, but did not do much.”
In contrast to Britain, with a traditional fondness for incompetence, were not known to Russia’s willingness to celebrate the defeat. Chapman of Fame is not likely an indication of the amazing new Russian mentality? Not quite. In the desired bizarre feat to re-interpretation, the dominant state-run media portrayed the epic story Chapman feelgood, which was held in her life as something to be envied, for. During the New Year, and manages the station one channel and this is a tribute to your lifestyle to Chapman, which he described the host as is “without any exaggeration, and a woman of the year.” The program began with footage in the fragile home to spy on the Soviet schoolgirl they read poetry and laughter in the camera itself by Chapman, who was wearing a figure hugging dress will be green, marched into the studio to warm applause from the audience. “I would say, you look better than it is in the pictures,” enthusiastic host. Through the program for an hour, and rolled all the friends of childhood Chapman, novelty and “first love” out to pay tribute, and Chapman was good grace to blush deep red hair. “She deserves applause because it was working in abroad for our nation,” celebrity guest – Soviet-era TV star Anna Shatilova – exclaimed.
Chapman did not give away too much of during the show, and its insistence on the plates, and wisdom for the most part. He replied when asked about the carried over from the United States: “I think that everything that happens is for the better.” She, however, dropped a hint about the role of potential new TV. “Watch your screens next year,” and advised viewers. “I reveal all the secrets.”
The transformation of this logo to be her as submitted by the mysteries of the world with Anna Chapman, an “investigation” showed that weekly launched in January. “Women in Russia, the most mysterious and the exhibition displays the most mysterious,” and promised the program producer Michael Tukmachev in the Declaration of the promo.
In the first episode appeared in Chapman’s claims that the verses of the Koran may appear on the skin of a young boy from Russia’s North Caucasus Republic of Dagestan. However, the reality Chapman visited the troubled region that is home to more than 50% of terrorist attacks in Russia in 2010. So (a) – Assumed consuming – reporter and sent, and left Chapman to pop up on the screen from time to time in the uniform of eye-catching red and black. Seen later investigations found similar studio-based Chapman topics including demonic possession and the fate of St. Petersburg, Russia lost the famous Amber Room, which disappeared after being looted by Nazi forces in World War II. In case you’re wondering, she did not find.
Ren TV, and one of the few non-television companies run by the state in Russia, left, and display screens. But producer Tukmachev denies that the emergence of personal connections with the Kremlin and the obvious is a sign that the channel slowly losing an important measure of independence may enjoy. “Nothing has changed in the channel since the arrival of Chapman,” says Lee. “As you can see, there is nothing political about the program at all.
“The idea of the exhibition came quite spontaneously,” he adds Tukmachev. “I was holding a meeting with Chapman, and we came up with the subject of secrets – and one that both of us to look interesting and had no previous experience, of course, but they learn faster than others.”
But why is submitted glamorous exhibition does not get out and about and try to uncover the truth itself? Why were largely confined to the studio to Moscow sterile?

So far, not only conquer the business world show, Chapman is also to carve a career for herself as a politician. In late 2010 and joined the leadership Gvardiya Molodaya (young guard), and the youth wing of Putin’s United Russia. Is seen widely as a possible weapon against the Kremlin’s what officials nervously here we call “scenario orange” in reference to the revolution street protest inspired by that swept the political pro-Western Viktor – movement – along with a similar group called Nashi (ours) as Yushchenko power in neighboring Ukraine in 2004. In 2005 and then announced, the leader of Nashi, Vasiliy Yakemenko that if such a thing ever to happen in Russia that he is one that would make the call to “colleagues in the movement of the fan club Spartak Moscow” him, and that it “brings the 5000 their supporters to chase away those who came out on the streets in support of the Western-backed politicians. ”
Moscow continues to be tense about the possibility of an uprising similar to Egypt. And recently instructed the young guard, the Kremlin ideological Vladislav Surkov to get ready for 2011 parliamentary and presidential elections 2012. “Prepare yourselves for the elections, and train your mind and your muscles,” said the group members at a meeting in Moscow in December. “Elections must be won by Medvedev, Putin and United Russia.” The modern Surkov Labib shortly after the young guard had published photographs of a number of journalists “traitor” on its Web site with the words “punished” stamped on them.
Was beaten in a later journalists, Oleg Kashin, who had written extensively about the Kremlin and groups loyal to the United Youth of Russia, almost to death outside his home by unidentified gunmen. He denied any involvement of the young guard and took pictures off the Kachin location.
Of course these events were unpleasant missing from the speech for the first time Chapman in the Young Guard in Congress late last year. A wisp of hair hanging over one eye, and urged Chapman smiles some delegates 2000 to “transform the future, starting with ourselves.” “If each one of us and joyful, we can do something useful and new,” and followed up over the low-level buzz of gossip. “It will be there,” revealed “to be less negative in the community if each and every one of us woke up with a smile on our faces.” He declined to disclose how to Chapman, the Russians were to put aside the problems of the country paralyzed most – corruption, rampant alcoholism, police brutality, for example, only three – and begin the day with a smile ready. She made a swift exit, and avoid waiting journalists with the “elegance of the former secret agent,” as one blogger put it. Has played a lot on Russian television. Such as its political, have so far been Chapman’s role in the movement of the Young Guard definition unclearly. One week it helps to “educate young people in Russia” and “national increase,” while the next is to provide advice on “trade issues” or “modernization.” Young Guard leader Timor Prokopenko dubbed him recruit new “champion of her generation.” I call him to clarify. “Well, her autobiography is all they wrote about and made them very popular – a hero – and girls among the students,” says Lee. But he shares their position? “As Chair of the Youth Organization,” He replies politely, “I find myself compelled to support their point of view.”
Chapman may not be limited to youth policy for a long time. Initially, the United Russia candidate in the December parliamentary elections, and are expected to stand – and win – in her hometown of Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad. “The party needs a beautiful young girls,” commented a senior official in Russia, the United Frants Klintsevich. “She can bring more supporters with them. It’s smart, sharp person.” Reader or political analyst and former Shakhbaz Samir told me: “It’s kind of a role model, and it has a lot of fans lived the dream of many young people here to be personal – 007 type, or at least the Russian version of it.”
The ranks of United Russia is already swelling with celebrities from the football players Andrei Arshavin and Roman Pavlyuchenko for a group of pop stars and rock communities. One face of the famous Chapman will not be meeting in the marches, however, the former Bolshoi Theater ballerina Anastasia Volochkova angrily quit the party last month. “Were not interested in any projects and suggested”, and pointed. “They were just for me to announce the party. I have no desire to prostitute myself.” In the Chapman – dubbed “Agent 90-60-90″ by Russian newspapers because of her figure centimeter measurements – United States and Russia to have an alternative ready Volochkova glamorous. Which – for the time being at least – has no objections to be used only for its beauty and fame.
But despite all the place, and it’s debatable whether Chapman is very popular among ordinary Russians. Than ever in this country, it’s the Internet where the feelings of real people find a voice. Russia and bloggers a variety of users and message board seems to be unequivocal in their disdain.
“Citizen of the world Anna Chapman undoubtedly the main hero of our country wide,” wrote one user in the Journal of Life – Russia platform the most popular blogging. “We also drop the knickers every dream we have abroad, and steal the secrets of the enemy.” “A symbol of our time!” Other offers. “How we need people like these! Those ready to join all that is said to them! Sleep with whatever they are told!” Other comments are more visible, which involves a combination of “Putin” and “whore.”
It is assumed ex-spies to quietly disappear, Chapman and lust for publicity and raised many of the former members of the Russian intelligence services. “No real professional would act like that. It’s a disgrace to see how they are cashing in on its past,” said a former operative in today for the first time of her TV. “After all,” he said, after insisting on anonymity, “It’s not like anything I’ve done that they should be proud of.”
And can not seem to have been imposed Chapman Russians. But it is not easy to understand why. Is it just a factor which has become acute disaster in the triumph of skill? Or are being manipulated is, voluntarily or otherwise, that the powers? Chapman, now give almost nothing away. Not free, anyway.
