I’m a very good shot,’ 28 year old Chapman,  ‘I have a passion for it, and I love going to shooting ranges.’

The state owned channel devoted a prime time slot to a eulogy to Chapman who was once married to a British man and expelled from America after being captured by the FBI

As a gift she was presented with a lion cub live on state-owned television.

The fair skin lady said it had been a personal dream of hers to own one before it became dangerous – so one was brought to her. She said she would call him Nano.

She sang patriotic songs with prime minister Vladimir Putin after she was sent back to Moscow in a dramatic Cold War-style spy swap.

Chapman said she still starts every morning with exercise:

‘I can’t function normally if I don’t do sports, it’s very important for me,’ she said.

A close friend divulged how she had plotted to marry a British man as a teenage pupil. It was on her first visit to Britain aged 19 that she met Alex Chapman, a former public schoolboy, who she wed soon afterwards in Moscow.

‘It’s not for me to judge, I wish for nothing negative to anyone, even a traitor. It’s his problem, not mine,’ she said.

‘What happened is for the best. It’s a beginning of something great and beautiful.’

She expressed to the viewers her favorite James Bond was Sean Connery, and she is also a fan of Angelina Jolie who played a ‘sleeper spy’ in the hit movie Salt.

Anna was one of ten Russian sleeper agents uncovered in the United States and deported that same summer in what’s been said to be the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.

After months of teasing the media, Russians have been anticipating for her speak publicly since her return. She appeared at a Russian rocket launch in Kazakhstan where she brushed aside questions from a news media.
