Anna Chapman launches new career as Maxim cover girl

The sexy Russian spy who tried to seduce powerful American government workers has a new audience to titillate: Maxim readers. Anna Chapman is this month's cover girl for the magazine's Russian edition and, based on how instantly popular the issue is on the web, you should fully expect to see her in the U.S. edition -- or at least FHM UK -- as soon as they can sign her up.

"Seduction, like love and friendship are the same everywhere," she told Maxim in Russian, when asked which men are easier to seduce, Russians, British or Americans.

"Most men are divided in three categories: primitive, those that only want sex; smarter, those that want to be loved, and [the] last group -- those that not only want to be loved, they also need that this love will be the biggest and most amazing feeling in your life," she said.

"Those are the most difficult, but that is my favorite category," Chapman added. [NYDN]

Chapman, as expected, is well on her way to becoming a national hero over there. She was recently named one of the country's greatest patriots in a ceremony led by President Medvedev that featured that featured all of the alleged Russkie spies.
