MOSCOW, Russia - hot spy Anna Chapman stars in a short parody of a soviet film that has been released to bring love to Russian couples.
The spy, who was extradited from the US after having her cover blown has turned into a media icon and is much loved by her mysterious past and bright future.
She is seen as the Russian Femme Fatale, the female James Bond, and a symbol of Russian democracy in the 21st century. The timing of the short film also comes at a time when US-Russian relations are warming up, despite the spy scandal.
While US Vice President was sad to see Chapman go, the humorous comments he made about her have given Chapman a spotlight not before seen on a Russian spy.
