Russian "Sleeper" Spies: The Illegals Program

In 2010, the FBI arrested ten 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. This lecture examines what they did, how they were caught and the prisoner exchange. Most Americans only read the headlines, but we delve into the fascinating details. Speaker: Thomas Eastwood
