Illegals Program: Russian “Sleeper” Spies

In 2010, the FBI arrested 10 long-term Russian spies. They had posed as Americans for years developing intelligence sources. They attended U.S. universities, had children, homes, and jobs. One such spy was the “glamorous” Anna Chapman. Within days, these spies pled guilty and were swapped for Western assets held in Russian prisons. We will examine what they did, how they were caught, and the prisoner exchange. Most Americans only read the headlines, but we will discuss the fascinating details.  Instructor: Thomas Eastwood
