Former Russian intelligence agent Anna Vasilievna Chapman (maiden name Kushchenko), in addition to espionage, at one time was also successfully engaged in business and is now known as an active public figure.
Diplomat's daughter
The shameful failure of a special operation by Russian special services in the United States brought her particular popularity, but much earlier for a future celebrity named Anna Chapman, her biography began in Soviet Volgograd. In 1982, the only daughter Anna Kushchenko was born here into the family of a Soviet diplomat.
Due to the career of the head of the family with frequent trips abroad, the parents entrusted Anna’s upbringing to her grandmother. In her hometown, Anna Vasilyevna Kushchenko often changed educational institutions, and the girl had already celebrated her graduation in the Russian capital. After graduating from school in the late 90s, the daughter of a diplomat decides to study economics at one of the capital's universities. There, Anya accepts a marriage proposal from a British artist named Chapman. Soon she would glorify the family name, and from that moment it was already clear: a girl named Anna Chapman’s biography would not be boring. Moreover, the competent authorities of different states were the first to become interested in her fate.
British subject
When Anna moved to Britain in 2003, immediately after graduating from university, everyone saw her success in business. Together with her husband, Anna founded the Southern Union company to provide financial services to African emigrants in Britain. At the same time, lending conditions were significantly better in comparison with local banks. The secret to success was the creation of fictitious companies and bank accounts. Soon, British intelligence officials opened an investigation into the activities of Southern Union. According to official data, Chapman worked for several months in the London office of Net Jets Europe in a modest position. There she carried out assignments for the rental and sale of air transport to her homeland. In the period from 2004 to 2005, Anna, according to her own words, also held one of the ordinary positions at Barclays Bank.
A relatively young girl became a successful entrepreneur beyond her years through dubious financial transactions. Fictitious accounts could cost yesterday's student a significant prison term in a British prison. This allows us to judge whether the insurance is reliable. Most likely, the girl remained under the control of third parties from the very beginning.
Career at home
In 2006, when Anna returned to Russia, she managed to found a company that searched for real estate. If you believe the girl’s words, the starting capital was acquired by selling all her jewelry. But later it became known about government support from some structures. One of the cases of such support is related to the replenishment of the assets of a real estate search company by 250 thousand rubles.
The source of such injections is the agency for the development of innovative entrepreneurship facilities. But the project did not bring the expected success.
Anna also worked as vice president at KIT Fortis Investments. In 2010, Chapman received a lucrative position with the right to influence investment policy in the large company Fondservisbank. And in the same year, she joined the ranks of United Russia. It should be noted that she would later support Trump's candidacy in the American election race.
But great doubts remain about how independent such statements by the ex-intelligence officer are.
Agent failure
In 2010, the US government uncovered an intelligence network of Russian intelligence services with the subsequent arrest of participants in the spy scandal; Anna was among those caught and extradited. Chapman herself connected her stay in America with the promotion of a new commercial project.
It is hardly worth considering the launch of the NY Crentals electronic resource as anything other than a cover for activities to obtain secret data. Anna is credited with attempting to obtain classified information about relations between Iran and the United States. Also, the espionage of a group of Russian agents with the participation of the British citizen Anna was also allegedly aimed at obtaining information about nuclear weapons. The British citizen of Russian origin has a record of obtaining information about some of the CIA leaders. Attempts to get closer to data on Barack Obama led to the failure of the entire operation and a public scandal.
It would seem that after such damage to one’s reputation one can forget about a successful career, but for such a strong personality as Anna Chapman, the biography will be replenished with more than one mention in the world press.
Who recruited Chapman?
Today it is difficult to judge the girl’s career in domestic intelligence; we can assume that Anna was already recruited in London. According to another version, this happened while still a student. Both versions look equally convincing. Intelligence often supplements its agents with students or former citizens of the state in exile.
It is still easy to allow Anna to come into contact with the intelligence services after her first problems with the law in Britain. In exchange for patronage and protection from imprisonment, the girl could agree to cooperate as an agent.
Big steps in media
The television project “Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman” started on the federal television channel in 2011. The unlucky intelligence officer's first experience as a presenter was successful with great interest from the audience.
The producers correctly predicted the popularity of a mysterious program about mysticism with an attractive intelligence officer as the host. The first episode intrigued with the broadcast on the theme of a Dagestan teenager with passages from the Koran on his body. They appeared miraculously on their own. Later there were materials about exorcism and other mysticism.
Many regarded such participation in the project as a step back and a big mistake. In one of the episodes of the program, the viewer is presented with the truth about soda with Anna Chapman as the presenter - on air, the eminent ex-intelligence officer talks about the widespread use of this ingredient in ancient times. After working in intelligence, such stories seemed nonsense to many.
In 2011, Anna also joined journalism in the analytical monthly Venture Business News. But the girl does not work as an ordinary author-analyst or a simple editor; she gets the position of editor-in-chief. Following her appointment, rumors about someone's influential patronage significantly worsened. The former British subject allegedly does not qualify for such a position. The opinion of the magazine’s staff remained unknown to the public.
With work on the project “Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman” and in Venture Business News, the scandalous girl is finally immersed in the world of media and is already using her name to the maximum benefit.
Secrets of personal life
Regarding the personal life of the popular intelligence officer, it is difficult to say anything for sure. Unlike espionage, there is a lot left undiscovered in this area.
Now almost no one believes in Anna’s marriage to Briton Alex Chapman, and everyone unanimously calls it fictitious for moving to Britain as a citizen. The artist himself did not hide his temporary infatuation with an interesting and intelligent girl.
Birth of a son
The intelligence officer stubbornly tried to hide the birth of her son in 2015 from the tabloid publications. And the secret was also revealed not of the new mother’s own free will; the public might still know nothing about childbirth. Only random witnesses in one of the cafes came across a famous girl in pregnancy and immediately unsubscribed about it on a social network. A huge belly indicated late pregnancy. Such evidence has already forced Anna to talk about her happiness.
It’s also worth saying that with a baby under her heart, our heroine still managed to create her own clothing line and launch several boutiques.
The identity of the baby’s dad still remains a mystery, and, apparently, the former agent and entrepreneur will direct all his skills to keeping the man’s identity a secret. Perhaps this time there will be a pleasant information leak. Judging by such secrecy, contrary to the image of a strong personality, for a girl like Anna Chapman, her personal life is of particular importance. She's not going to show it off at all. At the moment, the unlucky intelligence officer is fully enjoying motherhood with her son in her arms. But with the help of her mother, she will continue to work actively and will not take maternity leave.
Into show business through intelligence
Of course, people who know Anna understood that “The Truth About Soda with Anna Chapman” was not at all the pinnacle of her career. And besides boring participation in a TV show, the girl will quickly succeed in many other things, and so it happened. In the understanding of such an ambitious person as Anna Chapman, REN-TV was only a good springboard for future heights.
We have to note Chapman’s recognition as one of the sexiest women in the 21st century according to GQ magazine. At the moment, the mother, spy and entrepreneur also remains a successful TV presenter in one of the popular projects on the federal television channel. Recently, a clothing line under the Anna Chapman brand has also appeared in the fashion world.
A career in collaboration with Russian intelligence services hardly allows our heroine to consider herself a good intelligence officer. The fruits of this work turned out to be too inglorious. But now her name has acquired a special meaning in the media. The path to show business through intelligence, perhaps, remains one of the most original ways to become famous. Few people in the history of espionage have had such a career boost after failure.
For the daughter of a Soviet diplomat named Anna Chapman, the biography could end with the tragic fact of long imprisonment or other disasters. But it is unlikely that the girl worked for the orders in collaboration with intelligence; Anna was looking for her place in the sun, and she found it. Today, every program with Anna Chapman and every media mention of her gathers a large audience of fans.
Anna Vasilievna Chapman is a Russian intelligence agent who has been exposed and become famous throughout the world, a public figure and entrepreneur, a mystery woman whose life is surrounded by numerous legends. After the failure of the special operation in the United States, the biography of Anna Chapman received close attention from the public.The Early Years of Anna Chapman. Education
Anna Vasilyevna Kushchenko was born on February 23, 1982 in Volgograd. Her father's diplomatic career forced her parents to often go abroad, and therefore Anna was raised primarily by her grandmother. Her school years began at Volgograd Gymnasium No. 11, but due to a number of circumstances she had to change more than one educational institution, and the girl graduated from 11th grade already in the capital. 
After graduating from school in 1999, Anna Kushchenko entered the Faculty of Economics of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. During her student years, the girl married the British artist Alex Chapman. This circumstance determined Anna’s future fate, namely her move to the UK after graduating from university in 2003.
Anna Chapman in the UK
After moving to the UK, Anna Chapman demonstrated excellent business acumen, as evidenced by the founding (with her husband) of Southern Union, which carried out financial transactions with Zimbabwe. In particular, the organization provided services to citizens of an African country located in the United Kingdom much cheaper than local banking institutions. For this, shell companies and bank accounts were used. British intelligence later began investigating Southern Union for money laundering. 
For a short period from May to June 2004, Anna Chapman worked as an assistant assistant at Net Jets Europe, based in London. In one of her interviews, Anna Vasilyevna claimed that her duties included the rental and sale of air transport to Russia. From August 2004 to July 2005, Anna was an ordinary employee of Barclays Bank. In 2005-2007, Anna Chapman, judging by the girl’s resume, held one of the management positions at Navigator, carrying out initial public offerings of shares. However, the company itself subsequently refused to confirm this information.
Anna Chapman - Russian entrepreneur
Upon returning to Russia in 2006, Anna Vasilievna founded a real estate search company. The girl claimed that the starting capital was obtained by selling all her jewelry. It is also known that this project received significant support from government agencies, in particular, a transfer of 250 thousand rubles was received from the Agency for the Development of Innovative Entrepreneurship for the assets of the enterprise. However, contrary to all expectations, Chapman did not receive good results from the above project. 
Having failed to achieve success with her own venture in her homeland, Anna took the position of vice president at KIT Fortis Investments. Later, from the words of the company’s general director, it turned out that every employee involved in sales received this position.
Anna Chapman and the US spy scandal
In 2010, Anna Chapman found herself at the center of the biggest spy scandal in the United States in recent years and was arrested by American authorities as an agent of the Russian intelligence services. According to Anna herself, her move to the USA was justified solely by the promotion of the new commercial Internet project NY Crentals. However, according to most experts, this project was nothing more than a cover. 
One of the charges against Anna is attempting to obtain classified information about United States policy regarding relations with Iran. In addition, it was alleged that the Russian spy intended to obtain classified information about nuclear weapons and revealed the personal information of CIA leaders. It is believed that one of the reasons for the failure of Anna Chapman's operation was Barack Obama, to whom she got unacceptably close.
Anna Chapman in "Let Them Talk"
After the arrest, Russia managed to negotiate with the United States on the extradition of Anna Vasilievna and several other prisoners, who were also charged with espionage and high treason. She intended to return to the UK, but it turned out that in connection with the spy scandal, Chapman was deprived of British citizenship.
Anna Chapman after the spy scandal
Upon returning to her homeland, Chapman became a cult figure, actively discussed in the media space. Glossy magazines vied with her for photo shoots, various political organizations offered her membership, and a month after her extradition she sang a duet with Vladimir Putin the song “Where does the Motherland Begin?” 
In October 2010, Anna Chapman was offered the position of advisor to the head of investment and innovation at Fondservicebank. Later, in December of the same year, she became one of the members of the public council of the Young Guard of United Russia.
In 2011, Anna became the host of the author’s program “Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman” on one of the federal television channels. The show's producers positioned it as "the most mysterious program from the most mysterious woman in Russia." In the first issue, Anna investigated the case of a Dagestan youth, on whose body suras from the Koran inexplicably appeared. In subsequent episodes, she also discussed various mysteries with viewers, ranging from exorcism to the fate of the lost Amber Room from Tsarskoe Selo.

In June 2011, Chapman was offered the position of editor-in-chief of the monthly analytical publication Venture Business News.
Personal life of Anna Chapman
The personal life of the last Russian spy, as well as her entire biography, is shrouded in secrecy, causing a wide variety of assumptions and conjectures. For example, according to media reports, the marriage with Briton Alex Chapman entered into in 2002 was a common fiction in order to obtain British citizenship.In 2013, GQ magazine included Chapman in its list of the sexiest women of the 21st century.
In 2015, information appeared in the media that Anna Vasilievna Chapman gave birth to a son. Hiding her pregnancy for as long as possible, the former spy still announced motherhood on social networks.

Anna's activities in the USA
In February 2010, Anna Chapman moved to the United States with the intention of promoting NYCrentals (an American clone of Domdot.ru) and creating TIME Ventures, a venture capital company to invest money in Russian startups. However, Anna's big plans were not destined to come true: on June 27, 2010, Anna Chapman was arrested in Manhattan by FBI agents. She and ten other people were already accused on June 28 of covert work in the interests of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation: they were charged, in particular, with trying to obtain the latest information on the nuclear weapons of the United States, policy towards Iran, information on congressmen and CIA leaders. According to the American investigation, Chapman underwent special training in Moscow together with other defendants. The FBI had been monitoring her since early 2010. Just before her arrest, one of the American intelligence officers approached her. Posing as a Russian intelligence officer, this provocateur asked Anna to hand over a false passport to another Russian agent. After this, Anna Chapman was arrested at a pre-arranged place. The American court refused to release Anna on bail in the amount of $250,000. The hearing in her case took place on July 27, 2010. The independent press noted that Anna Chapman and other Russians were accused not so much of espionage as of secretly working for Russian intelligence, since they did not obtain any secret information.
Anna Chapman admitted on the 8th of July 2010 that she had conducted intelligence activities in the United States, after which, by a court decision, she was sentenced to imprisonment, the duration of which corresponded to the time Anna spent in pre-trial detention, and further deportation from the country. On the same day, Anna, along with other Russians convicted in this case, was expelled from the United States as a result of an exchange for four Russian citizens convicted of espionage.
Career after deportation to Russia
After returning to her homeland, Anna Vasilievna Chapman’s career developed very successfully. In October 2010, Chapman was accepted into Fondservisbank. She took the position of presidential adviser on innovation and investment, and in December of the same year she became a member of the public council of the Young Guard of United Russia. And in January 2011, she began hosting her own television program “Secrets of the World” on REN-TV. Since May 2011, Chapman took the position of editor-in-chief of Venture Business News, a specialized periodical.
Anna Chapman is a mystery woman of our time, about whom there are legends not only in Russia, but throughout the world. Anna’s biography became widely discussed after the loud scandal of a failed special operation by Russian intelligence in the United States, as a result of which she was deported from the States as a spy in 2010. The mysterious story of the TV presenter is closely intertwined with her career - the documentary project “Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman,” based on the disclosure of sensational facts in the world around her, is popular and attracts interest in the personality of its author.

Anna Chapman in 2019
The girl's school years were full of changes, just like her adult life - in order to get a secondary education, Anna had to change a number of schools, and even graduate from her senior year in Moscow. After graduating from school, Chapman entered the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Faculty of Economics, from which she graduated in 2003.
Immediately after receiving her diploma, the girl moved to the UK, as a year earlier she had married Briton Alex Chapman. In Britain she worked in her profession for 5 years. She had an increased desire for material well-being, which forced her to return to her homeland and create a number of her own projects, the initial capital of which was the proceeds from the sale of personal jewelry.
Anna Chapman
However, the “real estate search engine” founded by Anna turned out to be unprofitable and did not bring the expected results, which prompted Chapman to create TIME Ventures, which was supposed to search for Russian companies in order to open American branches on their basis. To promote it, she moved to the USA. According to the American investigation, this project became a cover for the girl’s activities in America - she was repeatedly noticed in collaboration with Russian UN representatives, with whom she allegedly exchanged secret information and encrypted files.
Spy scandal
In June 2010, Chapman became the main defendant in the most notorious espionage scandal, as a result of which she was arrested by FBI agents as an employee of the Russian special services. She was accused of working for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, in particular, of trying to obtain secret information about US policy towards Iran, about US nuclear weapons, as well as disclosing personal data of congressmen and CIA leaders. Foreign media have repeatedly pointed out that the reason for the failure of the spy Anna was Barack Obama, to whom she got too close.

Chapman's arrest took place in Manhattan. Then she and ten other people, including Vicky Pelaez, Donald Heathfield, Mike Zotolli, Mikhail Semenko and Patricia Mills, were accused of working for foreign intelligence services and maintaining contacts with Russian special agents. True, legally, according to American law, Anna is not listed as a spy, since she was unable to declassify US state secrets.
In July 2010, Russia agreed with the United States to exchange several prisoners accused of treason and espionage, which allowed Chapman and several other people to be officially extradited from the United States to their homeland, where she did not intend to stay after returning to the UK.
Anna Chapman with the Russian flag
The Russian spy's move did not take place - after being accused of espionage, she lost her British citizenship. It is known that the failure of Anna’s spy mission took place after she contacted the police with a statement about an attempt to recruit her into “Russian intelligence officers.”
However, the FBI claims that Chapman’s arrest took place as a result of a special operation - an American intelligence officer was sent to her, who, under the guise of a Russian intelligence officer, asked Anna to hand over a false passport to another “colleague” in a designated place, where an ambush on the spy was organized.
At the end of 2010, it became known who handed the girl over to the CIA. The whistleblower of Anna’s activities turned out to be Russian intelligence officer Alexander Poteev, who fled to the United States, and was sentenced in absentia to 25 years in prison in Moscow in 2011.
In Russia, the first thing that happened was that the then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin met with the Russians deported from the United States. He highly appreciated the work of the scouts, calling their sacrifices that they bring to the altar of the fatherland invaluable. This includes thorough study of a foreign language, working without cover, and participation in operations that may pose a threat to life. Later, in a conversation with reporters, the head of the Russian government confirmed that he sang the song “Where the Motherland Begins” together with the meeting participants.
Journalism and television
After being released from an American prison and returning to Moscow, the Russian spy received many offers in the field of show business. At the same time, she starred in several erotic photo shoots for Playboy and Heat, after which they began to call her “agent 90-60-90.”
Program “Secrets of the World” - “Karma is no joke”During the same period, the woman joined the “Young Guard of United Russia” council, in whose ranks she took up the patriotic education of Russian youth. In 2011, the ex-spy became a TV presenter and author of the documentary project “Secrets of the World,” aired on the REN-TV channel.
All episodes of “Secrets of the World” with Anna Chapman are sensational and mysterious stories that reveal the mysteries of the modern world in which high-ranking officials are involved. In her new role, the legendary Russian spy tells viewers the whole truth about every attribute of everyday life used by people.
Program “Secrets of the World” - “Don’t believe your eyes”The documentary film “Secrets of the World” with Anna Chapman has an audience of millions who are eagerly awaiting the new release of the program. More than 120 episodes of the program were aired, in each of the stories the TV presenter personally participated in dangerous experiments and uncovering hoax stories. Particularly popular are the programs of the cycle “The Decline of a Dynasty”, “Tucked in Tails”, “Karma is No Mess”, “Decline of Europe”.
In addition to the “Secrets of the World” project, Anna works as editor-in-chief of Venture Business News and is also writing a book about innovation. Along with her journalistic activities, since 2010 she has been a member of the board of directors of Fondservisbank, specializing in the rocket and space industry. In the summer of 2015, the bank fell under the reorganization procedure of Roscosmos, as a result of which all presidential advisers, including Chapman, were forced to stop cooperation with the FSB.
Personal life
Chapman's personal life, like her biography, is full of mysteries and mystery. In 2002, she married the son of British businessman Alex Chapman, a recording studio employee. According to media reports, this marriage was fictitious and organized with the aim of obtaining British citizenship for the Russian spy. The groom himself came to the girl in Russia, where they lived together for a year after marriage. At the same time, the young husband worked in Moscow as an English tutor. In 2006, the couple divorced for unknown reasons.
The SunAt one time, Anna Chapman was in search of a life partner and said that she would not mind if a disgraced ex-CIA employee, who was hiding from persecution by American intelligence services in Russia, became the husband and father of her children. She made a marriage proposal to the “fighter for ideals” in her “
I saw a different person in her. The way she thought had changed. It turned out that I didn’t know her at all. It could be compared to a midlife crisis, but she was only 20 years old. Anna never wanted me to meet these people and did everything to prevent me from seeing them. She was never materialistic the entire time we were together, but in 2005 and 2006 after she started dating these people, the so-called “Russian friends,” everything changed. She acquired large sums of money and boasted about her acquaintances with influential people.”
On July 4, 2013, she proposed marriage to Edward Snowden on her Twitter. “I would marry Chapman no matter what. Lord, just look at her!” - Snowden reacted on the same day in a virtual dialogue with a visitor to his page. The flirtation between the two agents, initially perceived as a joke, could, according to experts, after the wedding open up new opportunities for Snowden, who is not yet expected anywhere in the world.

In addition to the “Secrets of the World” project, Anna Chapman works as editor-in-chief at Venture Business News and is also writing a book about innovation. Along with her journalistic activities, since 2010 she has been a member of the board of directors of Fondservisbank, specializing in the rocket and space industry. In the summer of 2015, the bank fell under the reorganization procedure of Roscosmos, as a result of which all presidential advisers, including Chapman, were forced to stop cooperation with the FSB.
In 2006, Anna and Alex separated. According to Chapman's ex-husband, one of the reasons for their separation was Anna's desire for material well-being, which Alex could not provide her with. According to Chapman's ex-husband, after their separation, Anna met with a banker from Switzerland and an industrialist from the USA. Alex, who is now a psychiatrist, said that over the course of their marriage, Anna had transformed from a carefree girl into an “arrogant and obnoxious” woman in powerful circles. At the same time, according to him, Anna is an “extremely smart” girl, and her IQ is 162. Anna’s friend, with whom she rented an apartment after breaking up with her husband, said that Chapman met many rich people in London, among whom was the disgraced oligarch Boris Berezovsky.
Anna Chapman was accused of collaborating with the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (an attempt to obtain information about US nuclear weapons, congressmen and CIA leaders). Anna admitted that she was involved in intelligence activities and was sentenced to imprisonment, confiscation of property and deportation from the United States. At the beginning of July 2010, she was deported to Russia in exchange for 4 people convicted of espionage for Great Britain and the United States. In August, Anna was in quarantine in the Moscow region, where she met with V. Putin.
Anna's mother, Irina Nikolaevna, worked as a mathematics teacher in high school. Anna has a younger sister, Ekaterina. Anna's parents and sister live in Moscow, in the Ramenka area (according to other sources - in the Moscow region).
Anna wanted her real estate portal to become a leader among other sites, but the project did not bring the expected reaction from the market: the site was poorly visited, was poorly developed, there was not enough advertising campaign on it, and there were no interesting articles on it. In a word, it did not live up to the stated level. In 2009, Anna tried to sell it, but later the domain became unavailable. The money invested was wasted, and as a result of all her activities, Anna owed a considerable amount to a reputable publishing house.

In June 2010, Anna Chapman became the main defendant in the most notorious espionage scandal, as a result of which she was arrested by FBI agents as an employee of the Russian special services. She was accused of working for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, in particular, of trying to obtain secret information about US policy towards Iran, about US nuclear weapons, as well as disclosing personal data of congressmen and CIA leaders. Foreign media have repeatedly pointed out that the reason for the failure of spy Anna Chapman was Barack Obama, to whom she got too close.
The most famous scandal involving Anna Chapman occurred in 2010. Then, the girl was arrested in America for being an agent of Russian intelligence. As she herself stated, she came to the United States to develop her business project, but many still believe that this project was a “fake” to cover up the spy’s main activities.
In the summer of 2001, during a tourist trip to the UK, I met Alex Chapman, a recording studio employee, at a party in London. Since Anna was still studying at RUDN University at that time, Alex came to Moscow, where their marriage was registered in March 2002. Upon marriage, Anna took her husband's surname.
On December 30, 2010, she participated in Andrei Malakhov’s program “Let Them Talk” (Channel One) (according to TV critic Arina Borodina, the program with Chapman is one of the most disastrous releases of “Let Them Talk” in terms of ratings among the television audience for several years.).
For about three months (from May to July 2004) Anna worked for the London private aviation company NetJets Europe. Chapman’s resume contains information according to which she spent almost a year at the airline dealing with the rental and sale of business class aircraft to Russia, however according to other sources, she performed “significantly less responsible work” at NetJets Europe, in particular, she was an assistant assistant.
After my parents left for Moscow, she stayed to live in Volgograd with her grandmother. During her youth, Anna Kushchenko managed to study in different places: she studied in Volgograd gymnasium No. 11, where her classmate was Olympic champion Elena Slesarenko; from 1996 to 1997 - in the Volgograd gymnasium of artistic and aesthetic profile - the only gymnasium in Russia for children with scoliosis; I graduated from the 11th grade in Moscow. After graduating from school in 1999, she entered the Faculty of Economics of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN).
In June 2010, she was arrested in the United States on charges of failing to inform American authorities about their cooperation with a foreign government. On July 8, 2010, Chapman pleaded guilty to illegal cooperation with Russia and was deported to her homeland along with nine other defendants in this case in exchange for four Russian citizens previously accused of spying for the United States and Great Britain.

The American court refused to release Chapman on bail of 250 thousand dollars. Her hearing was scheduled for July 27, 2010. The press noted that Chapman and the other arrested individuals were not accused of espionage, but of covertly working for foreign intelligence, since they were unable to obtain any classified information.
In June 2010, she was arrested in the United States on charges of failing to inform American authorities of her collaboration with a foreign government. On July 8, 2010, Chapman pleaded guilty to illegal cooperation with Russia and was deported to her homeland along with nine other defendants in the case in exchange for four Russian citizens previously accused of spying for the United States and Great Britain. Some media outlets have expressed doubts that Chapman is actually related to the Russian intelligence services.

This opinion is most likely caused by the fact that already in 2005 she left her husband, and in 2006 the couple divorced. Chapman himself believed that the reason for their separation was his wife’s strong desire for material well-being. He also claimed that Anna was dating an American industrialist and a Swiss banker. In addition, Chapman complained that during their marriage, Anna very quickly turned from a carefree girl into an “unpleasant and extremely arrogant” person entering into influential spheres.
