EBSM4

Brought up in the suburbs of Moscow, Svetlana Melnikova left school and was recruited as a KGB ***.

She was selected because of her glamorous looks and expected to use all her charms to extract sensitive information.

At 19, she studied warfare strategy, human psychology and interrogation techniques.

As part of her training, she was taught to strip a Kalashnikov assault rifle in 15 seconds and became a crack shot.

Whilst working undercover as an interpreter, she fell for the man she was supposed to be watching.
