Anna Chapman: profile of a 'Russian spy' (Anna Chapman 28-year-old Russian with an IQ of 162)

Anna Chapman is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian with an IQ of 162, a diplomat father and a taste for the high life.

She also has a romantic streak, having married her British boyfriend within a few months of meeting him.

With such attributes it is hardly surprising that she has been called a real-life Bond girl.

Anna Kushchenko, to use her maiden name, was born in the industrial southern Russian city of Volgograd, then Stalingrad, to a maths teacher mother, Irene, and a diplomat father, Vasily.

She does not appear to have had an especially gilded youth, having suffered from scoliosis - curvature of the spine - as a child and having lived with her grandmother there.

Hehehehe! I, too, jumped on a plane to Moscow to finally meet a Russian lady with whom I had been communicating for about a year. It DID work out. Been married six years now. Her being a 46 year-old English Ph.D may have been a contributing factor to stability. She is now a professor at two universities.

LOL Apparently her emotional IQ has not quite caught up.

I’d say it is a valid measurement based on her curves.

Raw "smarts" doesn't match years of training in the craft. I would rather have a surgeon with 20 years of experience and a 120 IQ than a 162 IQ intern. Similarly even brilliant rookie spies make mistakes that trained pros wouldn't. Since the FBI has been following this spy cell for 10 years, the mistake was made long ago (although I'm surprised they didn't notice they were being tapped, tracked and trailed during that time).

Just a little below Einstein yet a party girl ???

Actually Steven Hawkings was a known campus wide as a party animal. One associate related a story where Hawkings and his other class mates had a project where they had 7 possible results they could turn in to a really tough professor. The more they turned in the higher the grade. The others in the class spent months working on these projects and at best got 1 or 2 parts done. Hawkings partied all semester, went on a drinking binge the night before the projects were due, went home and crammed and turned in 4 or 5 parts and blew the curve. I think this story is part of the documentary they did on him a number of years back.

Later on, his disease disabled him. I wonder, however, if we would have been able to keep up with him in a drinking contest in his prime? I'm just glad he had those times at all.

The Russian women can be incredibly gorgeous and they’re very competitive with each other - their looks are their way to a better life - more so than Americans.

I have a Russian neighbor, claims her father was KGB and he told her to come here because in American you can do anything. So she did anything. Married a rich guy who supposedly committed suicide (there are rumors she killed him) and she blew the money he left her and has been living in her place for free for several years, hasn’t paid dues, mortgages, and even now that the place has foreclosed she is still there. Her main concern in life apparently is finding another rich husband but I’ve heard men find her somewhat scary.

And yeah...she’s good looking.

No.

I just think these type of articles ALWAYS exaggerate everything about a person after it’s all over ... for ex the poor gunned down kid is always a top student with high grades etc.

For ex the Duke fake rape case girl -— top student etc.

Laughable.

I simply don’t believe she has an IQ near to Einstein’s.

Journalistic bullshit.

And I will place my IQ next to hers any day.

And I don’t think she’s any tremendous beauty either altho I do see that she has the modeling head shot very well taken.

Aren’t there several thousand ladies similar to this one in all the online Russian dating agencies ???

Just sayin’ ...

Congrats.

If I were younger, I’d do this too.

After consulting you of course.

Getting caught as a Russian spy is no big deal in the West. You receive ‘Get Out of Jail’ cards immediately.

I am convinced that medvedev and obamao conspired on this matter. Also convinced that there is a recording system in the white house which forced the two puppets out for hell-burgers.
