New Delhi: Russian spy Anna Chapman has returned to active service. She has received a new mission from Russia and is now the head of the Museum of Russian Intelligence, which is affiliated with Russia’s premier intelligence agency, the SVR (formerly the KGB).
Anna Chapman’s real name is Anna Romanova, a citizen of the United Kingdom (UK). Chapman was in the news after her arrest in the United States in 2010. She was previously part of a Russian sleeper cell, and the US extradited her to Russia after her arrest.
Active on social media since 2020
Anna did not deny any espionage activities during and after her arrest, but there was no concrete evidence against her. Ultimately, under a dubious diplomatic agreement between Russia and the USA, Anna Chapman and her other associates were deported to Russia.
Anna Chapman had completely disappeared from social media after the espionage scandal in 2010, but she resumed her social media activity in 2020. She began sharing photos on her Instagram and Twitter/X accounts, expressing her views on Russian politics, society, and cultural issues.

Last year, Anna’s book, “007: My Life as a Spy,” was published. The book is based on her personal espionage journey, her intelligence operations, and the events that followed her arrest.
In this book, Anna Chapman shares her story about her espionage career, describing how she worked as a Russian intelligence agent. The book details her intelligence operations, Russia’s diplomatic relations with Western countries, and the events that led to her arrest.
