There might be more to Anna Chapman than meets the eye.
A web site opened this month by Chapman, the redheaded spy returned to Russia in a swap last summer, was actually registered in April 2010, two months before her arrest, Novaya Gazeta reported Wednesday, citing the database of the Russian Institute for Public Networks.
No explanation was provided for the timing of the registration of the domain name Annachapman.ru so far in advance of Chapman's June arrest and July deportation to Russia.
Chapman, along with nine other agents, pledged guilty to spying while in the United States. They were exchanged for four people convicted on spy charges in Russia.
Chapman became a celebrity upon her return to Russia, where she posed semi-nude for men's magazines, won a seat on the public council of the ruling United Russia party's youth wing and received her own television show. Speculation has circulated that she might run in the State Duma elections in December.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
