It seems that Russia is still in the business of espionage, according to this BBC report.
Ten people have been arrested in the United States for allegedly spying for the Russian government, the US Department of Justice has said.
They have been charged with conspiracy to act as unlawful agents of a foreign government, a crime which carries up to five years in prison.
Eight of them were arrested on Sunday for allegedly carrying out "long-term, 'deep-cover' assignments" on US soil.
Two others were arrested for allegedly participating in the same programme.
An 11th suspect remained at large, the justice department said.
Nine have also been charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.
