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!
Soooo basically the plot to Meet The Parents?
This is going to make for a trashtastic Lifetime Original Movie.
Look at the hair on the ex. What a patsy.
Apparently she prefers baldies: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3038514/The-spy-who-shagged-me.html
Sigh, the perils of mail-order. Do the Brits have a Better-Business-Bureau?
I looked almost that rough on my wedding day. I didn't *forget* the haircut and shave, but an unsteady hand did leave a fair amount of nicks on my face.
But isn't that kind of a weird backdrop for a wedding portrait? That looks like a studio shot, not something from a wedding ceremony/reception?
Calling shenanigans!
Of course Russian spy dad was wary of him: He's MacGRUBER!
