The cold war is not over..

Today USA and Russia swapped 14 spies through Vienna.

The USA deported 10 Russian spies in exchange for 4 Western agents.

The Russian Mata Hari - Anna Chapman has now headed gone to Moscow. Their children will have the option of joining them in Russia .

Diplomats hailed the swap as 'overall improvement of Russian-U.S. ties' according to Daily Mail... :O)

She was married to a Brit for a few years and I am not sure, but believe that she holds British nationality.
