From a perp walk in America to the catwalk in Moscow, Russia's former sleeper agent in America has come a long way.

Anna Chapman made her runway premiere at Moscow's Fashion Week yesterday – and a very weird one at that. Anna can be seen walking down the catwalk whereupon she accidentally drops a pistol on the floor. After dropping cold steel on the floor, she flashes some blue steel at the audience, holds up a model with the gun and then returns back to a throng of running children. All in a day's work for a spy, right?

As shocking as this may be for you to hear, the pantomime of spy life put on by Anna in the fashion show does not closely follow the historical record. As far as we know, she did not mug anyone on the streets of New York. Nor is it clear that she even carried a weapon, much less would have had call to use one in her activities. By all accounts, the Russian sleeper network she was a part of very much lived up to the "sleeper" part of their name, moving very slowly and didn't really snag any secrets. When she got busted by the FBI, it didn't end in a shootout, but a downright civil spy swap between the U.S. and Russia, as many expected. Besides, Russia's boss-for-life Vladimir Putin told us she came to us only to love, not to hurt.

Anna's appearance might be an attempt to jump start her foray into the fashion industry. She patented her name in Russia in order to start stamping it on her own clothes line, in addition to other high end products like perfume and Vodka. Her attempt to use those skills designing uniforms for Russian astronauts, though, has since fallen through. Or it could be just another installment of her overall Chapman-brand promotion, for everything from her social media ventures to her political career.
