Russian Spy Lady's Ex-Husband Justifies His Dislike Of His Former Father-In-Law

“He didn’t trust anyone. He asked me why I had chosen a Russian bride and asked what business I had in Russia, and I said none…. He was scary. He would never introduce me to other Russian people who came to the house and he always seemed to have a lot more security than the other diplomats. He had a Land Rover with blacked out windows and there was always one car in front of it and one car behind.”
—That’s Alex Chapman, ex-husband of the Russian spy Anna, talking about his ex-father-in-law Vasily Kushchenko to the Telegraph. Kushchenko was presented to Alex as a “high-ranking” officer in Russia’s security forces, which probably only added to his mystique as a not very welcoming father-in-law!
