Russian convicted of betraying Anna Chapman, 9 other spies

Image: File photo of a courtroom sketch of Russian spy suspects during an appearance in Manhattan Federal Court in New York

A senior Russian intelligence officer convicted of working for the United States fled Russia on a train just before the Americans busted his 10 sleeper agents.

Details of Col. Alexander Poteyev's quick escape and farewell text message to his wife — asking her to "try to take it calmly" — were among evidence produced by the court Monday as it found him guilty in absentia of high treason and desertion.

Pinup spy Anna Chapman, one of the 10 agents deported from the U.S. in July, testified during the closed trial that only Poteyev could have provided the information that led to their arrest last summer, Russian news agencies reported, citing a summary of the evidence read by the judge as he issued his ruling.

Chapman testified that she was caught after an undercover U.S. agent contacted her using a code that only Poteyev and her personal handler knew, the reports said. She said she immediately felt during the meeting that something was wrong and called her handler in Moscow, who confirmed her suspicions. Chapman and others were arrested shortly after.

The agents, who were arrested a year ago Monday, were deported in exchange for four suspected Western agents who had been imprisoned in Russia. It was the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.

The Moscow military court sentenced the 59-year-old colonel to 25 years in prison and also stripped him of his rank and state medals.

The court said Poteyev got word that the agents were being rounded up in the U.S. and was in such a hurry to leave Russia that he rushed out of a meeting at intelligence headquarters, the Interfax news agency reported. It said Poteyev fled to Belarus, crossed the border into Ukraine and then moved west to Germany and, finally, on to the United States using a passport in another person's name.

He had no time to say goodbye to his wife and later bid his farewells in a text message: "Mary, try to take this calmly. I'm leaving not for some time, but forever. I didn't want to, but I had to. I will start my life from scratch and will try to help the children."

Poteyev's grown son and daughter reportedly have been living in the United States for years.

His court-appointed lawyer, Andrei Kucherov, said Poteyev's wife believes he is innocent and wants to join him in the U.S.

Mikhail Lyubimov, a veteran Soviet spy, described the court's ruling against Poteyev as "symbolic."

"He must be rubbing his hands together and laughing at that together with his family somewhere in the U.S." Lyubimov said, according to Interfax.

Deputy head of the 'S' department The court said Poteyev had overseen the Russian sleeper agents in the U.S. as deputy head of the "S" department of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service. In addition to Chapman, other agents also confirmed that only he had access to the sensitive information that allowed the U.S. authorities to apprehend them, the RIA-Novosti news agency said.

The court said Poteyev had begun working for American intelligence around 1999-2000 — betraying the agents, their means of communication and financial information. It said Poteyev had sought to hamper the agents' work by forcing them to meet in places that were unsafe and providing them with inferior equipment.

The Russian spies were given a hero's welcome when they returned home, and President Dmitry Medvedev bestowed them with the nation's highest awards in October.

Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, a 16-year veteran of the KGB, sang patriotic songs with the spies to celebrate their return. Putin warned in December that traitors come to a bad end and "whatever equivalent of 30 pieces of silver they get, it will get stuck in their throats."

Unlike other members of the spy ring who have stayed out of the limelight, Chapman has basked in the attention. She has stripped down to lingerie for a photo shoot by the Russian edition of Maxim under the caption "For Your Eyes Only," become the new celebrity face of a Moscow bank, joined the leadership of the youth wing of the main pro-Kremlin political party and hosted a TV program.

In a revelation that could add insult to intrigue, Anna Chapman, the 28-year-old woman accused of being a U.S.-based secret agent for Moscow, is reportedly the daughter of a Russian foreign ministry official.

The U.K.-based Guardian newspaper, citing Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, reports that Chapman, aka Anya Kushchenko, is the daughter Vasily Kushchenko, who works in the ministry of foreign affairs, known by its Russian initials, MID.

The Guardian quoted "friends" of Chapman as saying that the Kushchenko patriarch worked in Russia's Kenyan embassy in the 1990s,

… and may even have been ambassador there. It is more likely, however, that he occupied a more junior post, and then possibly served a further stint abroad before returning to Moscow.

The U.K. newspaper said it spoke to a Russian foreign ministry official on Thursday who refused to confirm or deny the report but said: "There may be official commentary later."

Chapman is one of ten charged with operating as Russian spies under "deep cover" in the U.S. She was denied bail on Monday. The other nine are scheduled to appear for their hearings today and police are searching for an eleventh suspect who jumped bail on the island of Cyprus.

The red-headed Chapman, who allegedly posed as a New York businesswoman, has been the center of attention in the case, dubbed by tabloids as a femme fatale straight out of a John Le Carre thriller. As The Los Angeles Times put it in an article speculating that Chapman's story might have 'blockbuster' potential:

Every good Cold-War-style spy scandal needs a Natasha, and Anna Chapman, who appeared in court Monday in designer jeans and a white T-shirt, has emerged as the tale's sexy antagonist.

So far, the Russians have largely sloughed off the spy allegations. The Obama administration also seems willing to downplay the significance of the espionage arrests, no doubt not wanting to jeopardize Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to a region once firmly in the Soviet orbit. Beginning today, Clinton will travel to Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. It's part of a larger strategy to "reset" relations with the former rival.

Ex-Spy Anna Chapman, From Russia Unloved

With scarlet lips and chemical red hair, the erstwhile agent Anna Chapman is still making headlines in the West. But her audience in the Motherland is negligible.

Anna Nemtsova

MOSCOW—Every now and then I run into Anna Chapman at a nail salon called “Little Fingers” on Potapovsky Avenue in downtown Moscow. One would expect a red-haired, red-lipsticked celebrity-ex-spy, wearing expensive designer dresses that are tight enough to sculpt her curves in high relief, to attract attention. But here in the hip Clear Ponds neighborhood, where at any time of the day women are used to seeing and being seen to be cool, glamour is nothing special. It’s rare that another client would turn her head to look at Chapman, and besides, not many people in Moscow actually know who she is.

Most of the times I’ve seen Chapman, she has seemed upset or moody, locked in her own thoughts. Once I asked her if she'd like to be interviewed. She declined, barely looking up as she leafed through a fashion magazine. With a little grin she said she did not like to give interviews: “Why would I need it? My popularity rating is high enough, I don’t need more publicity.”

That’s a misleading comment worthy of, well, a former intelligence agent. In fact, popularity is something that the television host of Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman and the Ren TV channel, where she works, would be happy to improve. The show has had about a 0.9 percent rating in Russia.

If Chapman was famous in the West as “Putin’s spy” or “Agent 90-60-90” (or 36-23-36 if you measure in inches), here in Moscow the 32-year-old woman born Anna Kushyenko has struggled in her search for popularity, and the headlines she makes are mostly in the West.

Last March, for instance, as Russia was annexing Crimea, Chapman appeared in a 40-minute YouTube video, “Anna Chapman’s Army Diary,” that claimed serving in the Russian military isn’t really the grim ordeal that many people believe. “It’s almost 6 a.m. and 3,000 handsome men are still sleeping,” she purred. “I am very lucky to be at the heart of my motherland’s army. It’s a very special day for me.”

Nobody in Russia paid much attention, but British and American tabloids belatedly discovered the film…this week, and noticed the particular unit with which Chapman fraternized in the film might be one that’s now serving semi-secretly in Ukraine. The New York Daily News declared that “Russian strongman Vladimir Putin has unleashed a weapon of mass distraction.”

If so, the Russian masses are largely immune. It’s been more than five years, now, since Chapman was rounded up with several other Russian agents under deep cover in the United States and deported. Since then she has posed half-naked for erotic photo sessions, created her own fashion collection, started various charity foundations and taken part in pro-Kremlin political events.

In her regular television program, she announces, “I am Anna Chapman and this is Secrets of the World ,” then tells us, “Today there will be at least one secret less.” Dressed in a slick black suit, Chapman discovers, say, how people come to be millionaires. But in her show Chapman did not uncover the main secret in today’s Russia: whether there are Russian soldiers, tanks, mortars and missiles fighting in Ukraine.

Instead, last week Chapman opened her own boutique of designer clothes and interviewed famous Russian men about their sex lives, intrigues, and scandals for her new talk show, Anna Chapman and Her Men . But nothing seems to be connecting, quite, with the viewers.One good measure of Chapman’s popularity, or not, is Twitter, where she has a paltry 17,000 followers, as compared with a real Moscow diva, Ksenia Sobchak, who is followed by 988,000.

Chapman tweets nothing but quotes from famous politicians and philosophers on her account. Sobchak, a talk show host with independent station Rain TV, tweets her own independent ideas and her thoughts about current political trends. Indeed, Sobchak has become an interesting figure for Russian intellectuals, who are intrigued by how a former queen of the glamour scene, fashion shows, and debauched parties turned herself into a thoughtful political expert.

Olga Bychkova, a host at the capital’s popular Echo of Moscow radio station, explained to The Daily Beast why there was such scant interest in Chapman’s personality: “There would not be much to talk about with Chapman besides her spy experience, but she is reluctant to talk about her past. Apart from that,” said Bychkova, “Chapman does not seem to have any expertise in any area.”
