  1. Between 6 and 10 years. I’d imagine that this is also a case where there won’t be much issue deporting them.

  2. > ‘The other woman, Vanya Gaberova, 30, was given a sentence of six years, eight months and three weeks. While the judge made **an allowance for a claustrophobia diagnosis**, he told her that she knew what she was doing was for Russia and had found it “**exciting and glamorous.**”’

    **an allowance for a claustrophobia diagnosis**

    Surely if you suffer from claustrophobia you would do your best to not be incarcerated.

    “**exciting and glamorous.**”

    Crying in her mug shot. May be it wasn’t so “exciting and glamorous” after all.

  3. If they’d being caught spying in Russia they’d have been rotting away in Siberia by now.

  4. Should be given 30 years to atleast deter others of risking to spy for a enemy nation. National security is nothing to jole about..

  5. I know/knew Katrin. Feels weird knowing this, like it’s hard to match the crime with the person.

  6. Seems extremely short… They tried to sabotage the entire nation.

    Keep them locked up until they rot or its in our interest to trade them.
