Anna Chapman among sleeper agents deported from the US who were given awards by president Dmitry Medvedev
Russia's president, Dmitry Medvedev, has bestowed the country's highest state honour on the Russian sleeper agents deported from the US as part of the countries' biggest spy swap since the cold war, the Interfax news agency reports.
The awards were handed out last night at a Kremlin ceremony less than four months after the exchange, the agency quoted Medvedev spokeswoman Natalya Timakova as saying. No other details on the ceremony were available.
In June, 10 Russian agents who infiltrated suburban America were deported in exchange for four people convicted in Russia of spying for the west.
The spies received a heroes' welcome in Russia, with prime minister Vladimir Putin leading them in a patriotic singalong in July.
The most famous of the agents, Anna Chapman, visited the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan this month for the launch of a Russian spaceship, fuelling her celebrity at home and abroad.
FondServisBank, which works with Russian companies in the aerospace industry, said it had hired Chapman as its celebrity face to bring innovation to its information technologies.
The initials of the bank, FSB, are the same as Russia's main spy agency.
