'I was Putin's spy but fell in love with man I was meant to seduce – now I live in fear & can never go home to Russia'

A WOMAN who claims she once worked as a spy for Vladimir Putin has revealed how she fell in love with a target she was meant to seduce and went on the run.

Aliia Roza, 36, said she joined the Russian military and was selected to train as a special agent – learning the art of seduction to befriend men to extract their secrets.


Born in the USSR and the daughter of a high-ranking military General, Aliia's career path was already carved out for her.

But now she lives in fear of returning to her home country, fearing her past might "catch up with her".

After joining the Russian military under her father's wishes, she had to immerse herself in the "corrupt" regime – with Putin being in his first term as president at the time.

She claims she was raped before being ordered to pretend to be a prostitute in an elaborate scheme to master and manipulate men – her prime targets.

"Sometimes when I watch these movies like Red Sparrow I am like 'oh my god, how do they know all these things?

She says she and the other girls attending the academy were forced to train in the art of seduction, in order to trick unsuspecting targets into sharing classified information with them.

"In my educational centre, they would teach us how to seduce men, how to psychologically manipulate them, how to get them to talk so we could hand over information to police," she explained.

"For my first task, I had to pretend I was a prostitute so I could go to a club and seduce the leader of a criminal gang which was supplying drugs into the country."

During a top-secret mission in 2004, the then 19-year-old was sidelined by her attraction to one of her targets, who she names only as Vladimir.

If you mess up in anything they don't let you go. They send you to jail, where you’d be killed

The pair went on to risk their lives and careers for their love and began leading a life of crime, wealth, and comfort together.

"For a few months I lived the life that I had never lived before, I was only 19 – I was only a little girl at the time," she recalled.

"It was just crazy, I was hanging out with these baddies who would fight each other and kill each other. In my opinion, criminals are much nicer than police.

"They say in Russia that police have no principles, where criminals have principles; they protect their families, especially women and children.

"I fell for Vladimir, he really did help me. He was the only person I told about being raped."

But nine months into their whirlwind romance, her double life was exposed by Vladimir's gang – who she says then kidnapped and beat her.

Her former lover then met his own fate a month later and was murdered – in what she says was either a hit by his own gang, or someone else working undercover.

But she had larger problems at hand – as she explained: "After my cover was blown, my boss in the military knew there was something going on.

"If you mess up in anything they don't let you go. They send you to jail, where you’d be killed.

"Before he died, Vladimir gave me contacts in Moscow of people to contact in case anything happened to him, and told me to speak to no one else.

"Police started to track me and his friends hid me for just under a year. When things were calm enough I started to live my life, but I knew I could never go back."

The former spy managed to move on in Moscow, striking up a relationship with a Russian oligarch, who she married in 2006 and later fell pregnant.

But her happy ending was again short-lived – as her husband was jailed, where he later died.

But fate handed her another opportunity when she was given her late hubby's financial assets and company shares.

"I WOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING"

She and her newborn son, Platon, moved to Switzerland and London, before finally settling in the US to live a life of luxury.

Now living in California working as a PR, she has become a well-known name on the fashion circuit and mingled with the likes of Mike Tyson, Mayor Sadiq Khan, and even Prince Charles.

She resides in a $20 million Beverly Hills mansion with her now 11-year-old son and struts down red carpets in her spare time.

But she still can't travel back to Russia for fear of her safety – so instead enjoys holidays in Greece and Dubai to reconnect with her family.

But despite her opulent lifestyle and significant change of pace, she says she "always worries about my past catching up with me."

Her social media career has also imploded, seeing her boast 700,000 Instagram followers, she claims it hasn't gone unnoticed by members of the Russian military.

"I sometimes get very nasty messages from men from the military on my Instagram. I was scared to get any social media.

"But I had to get my freedom, I want to live my life. I have my residency card so they can’t really do anything.

"They could always kill me but they haven’t yet. Some of them are probably angry at me for not being like them, for being brave.

"Life is short – I want to live it as I want."
