Russia, U.S. exchange spies in biggest handover since Cold War

The U.S. and Russia orchestrated the largest spy swap since the Cold War, exchanging 10 spies arrested in the U.S. for four convicted in Russia in a tightly choreographed diplomatic dance July 9 at Vienna's airport.

Two planes, one from New York's LaGuardia Airport and another from Moscow, arrived in Vienna within minutes of each other and parked nose-to-tail at a remote section on the tarmac, where they spent about an hour and a half before departing just as quickly.

The swap completed, a Russian Emergencies Ministry Yakovlev Yak-42 plane left Vienna reportedly carrying the 10 people deported from the U.S. Shortly afterward, a maroon-and-white Boeing 767-200 that brought those agents in from New York took off, apparently with four Russians on board who had confessed to spying for the West.
