Anna Chapman: a real-life Russian spy straight out of MARVEL COMICS Black Widow character?

A ring of 11 Russian moles right out of a Cold War spy novel was smashed last year [June 28, 2010] — and among those busted was a flame-haired, 007-worthy beauty who flitted from high-profile parties to top-secret meetings around Manhattan.

An alleged female spy working for Russia. Anna Chapman, a Russian national living in New York, is a spy, according to FBI.



Russian national Anna Chapman [Black Widow] had been passing information to a Russian government official every Wednesday since January, authorities charged.



In one particularly slick spy exchange on St. Patrick’s Day, Chapman pulled a laptop out of a tote bag in a bookstore at Warren and Greenwich streets in the West Village while her handler lurked outside, receiving her message on his own computer, the feds said. A similar exchange occurred at a Midtown coffee shop at 47th Street and 8th Ave.



Another spy-movie-like maneuver took place in Brooklyn shortly after the meeting with the undercover agent when Chapman darted into a Verizon phone store to buy a cell using the name Irine Kutsov, and an address of “99 Fake Street,” the feds said. She only planned to use the phone to “avoid detection of her conversations,” the FBI alleged.



She was dubbed the Russian spy babe, or the undercover femme fatale. Though Anna Chapman was thrown out of America in July last year and sent back to her native Russia, having been exposed as a spook, she did quite well out of the humiliation – she acquired her own TV chatshow, and appeared as a catwalk model sporting leather trousers and a James Bond gun.



Black Widow (Чёрная вдова, 'Chyornaya vdova') (Natalia "Natasha" Alianovna Romanova, also known as Natasha Romanoff) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe. She was created by editor and plotter Stan Lee, scripter Don Rico and artist Don Heck, and first appeared in Tales of Suspense #52 (April 1964).

The Black Widow was played by Scarlett Johansson in the 2010 motion picture Iron Man 2. She has also been confirmed to appear in the upcoming motion picture The Avengers in 2012.

That is all.
