Edward Snowden may be stuck in Moscow without a valid passport, but there is a silver lining. Anna Chapman, a Russian spy deported from New York in 2010, has asked for his hand in marriage. On Twitter.

Snowden, will you marry me?!
 — Anna (@ChapmanAnna) July 3, 2013
 
Chapman was a favorite subject of the New York Post due mainly to her looks, but her game was no joke: She infiltrated upper-class Manhattan for the Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki intelligence agency as CEO of a real estate startup called Property Finder.
 
If her arrest three years ago seemed a throwback to the Cold War era, this off-the-cuff proposal is head-spinningly futuristic. Two espionage personalities forced to leave the U.S. brought together by social media? It could be a match made in heaven.
 
Chapman has been married before, taking her surname from one Alex Chapman, whom she met at a London rave in 2001. But true love is found outside of parties and on the Web.
 
 The tweet got a predictable slew of replies from gimmick profiles, some of which Chapman replied to in turn.
