Ms Chapman is appearing on commercial channel Ren TV Anna Chapman, the red-headed Russian spy famously expelled from the US last summer, is making her debut on a mystery show for Russian TV.
But the trailer of the first edition of “Mysteries of the World With Anna Chapman” suggests the CIA’s secrets are safe, at least this Friday evening.
Ms Chapman will be reporting on a baby in Dagestan with skin marks said to resemble Koranic verses.
Since her expulsion, the agent has enjoyed celebrity status in Russia.
The 28-year-old, who has not publicly discussed her role as a spy, was given a senior post in a youth organisation of the ruling United Russia party and a consultancy position with an investment bank.
Capitalising on her US media image as a “femme fatale”, she posed for the Russian edition of men’s magazine Maxim.
At 2200 (1900 GMT) on Friday, she will present her new show on Russian commercial television channel Ren TV.
Over dramatic music, the trailer asks why the “miracle child” is being hidden “from everyone by his parents”, who may stand to lose out, and why is an “oligarch” building a house for him.
“I nearly understand what’s going on,” says Ms Chapman, who is apparently filmed on location, her famous red hair peeping out from under a white Islamic headscarf.
In the autumn of 2009, it was reported that thousands of Muslim pilgrims were flocking to Dagestan, a republic in Russia’s North Caucasus region, to see “miracle baby” Ali Yakubov, on whose skin verses from the Koran seemed to appear and disappear every few days.
