All’s quiet on the Cold War front.
Just three of the 14 spies swapped in Vienna last week have made contact with relatives.
The US spy ring’s sexiest agent –flame-haired Anna Chapman — called home from Russia on Friday night, reporting to her sister that “everything is OK.”
Chapman’s hope of traveling to Britain was likely dashed yesterday when she learned that her British passport was set to be revoked, London’s Daily Mail reported.
Meanwhile, El Diario La Prensa columnist Vicky Pelaez, 55, called Yonkers to speak with her son Waldo Mariscal, 38, her lawyer said.
And former Russian prisoner Igor Sutyagin told his brother, Dimitry, that he didn’t want political asylum and was unsure where he would live, according to the Interfax news agency. He’s staying in a hotel outside London.
These were the first tentative steps of the newly free participants in the only major US-Russian spy trade since the end of the Cold War.
Sutyagin and Sergei Skirpal were dropped off in London by US authorities. Two other freed Russian prisoners, Alexander Zaporozhsky and Gennady Vasilenko, were taken to Washington.
