In 2010, 11 deep-cover Russian spies were arrested across the United States, sending shockwaves around the globe. At the centre of it all was Anna Chapman (née Kushchenko) — the femme fatale turned media sensation. But before she became the face of the spy ring, she was recruited, trained, and indoctrinated in the UK. This gripping two-part series pulls back the curtain on Londongrad — the murky world of espionage, influence, and infiltration. It reveals how the actions of a few would trigger seismic, long-lasting, and deadly consequences.
This is a global story — and a modern-day thriller. With unprecedented access to British citizens ensnared by Russian agents, the full team of FBI operatives who risked everything to bring the spies down in the United States, and former Russian insiders, this series delivers revelations from both sides of the curtain and the Atlantic.
