It comes after Vladimir Putin placed the head of the FSB's foreign service and his deputy under house arrest after blaming them for intelligence failings that saw his army handed a series of embarrassing defeats in Ukraine.

It was a stretch for us at the time. Obviously, it is worth a lot more now, but I have no idea how much. I don't even want to think about it. It's the best money decision I have ever made because it has meant my husband and I have had a secure family home in which to bring up our kids.
We'll probably end up being taken out of there feet first.

I had a deal for two books - one on Helen of Troy and the other on Socrates. I also did three television series in that year. Overall, I think I earned £75,000. But I was working at least 80 hours a week. My kids called my books 'the treacherous books' because they hated the fact that the door of my study was closed when I was writing. 

Andrea Kendall-Taylor, the US deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia from 2015-2018, added that Putin is seeking individuals to 'scapegoat and pass the blame' to and thinks 'he's in a much more precarious position now'.

I bought that white jacket when I was about 30 because I suddenly thought, this is ridiculous, I've got to sometimes buy new clothes.
The first time I wore the jacket was for the wrap party of the TV series I'd been doing. A colleague fell over and cut her wrist on a glass and I took her to hospital. She was fine, but there was a lot of blood and my jacket was ruined. I took that incident as a sign that I shouldn't have bought it.

Soldatov previously told that most FSB agents are brought into the service as legacy hires based on their parents or grandparents being agents and are removed from mainstream schools to be educated in-house.

'He has managed to find a space there to build his dream home, though it is rather bigger than his childhood home in one of the poorer areas of Crawley. It's a lovely story of rags to riches which Romesh has worked very hard for.'

Last week, Andrey Soldatov, a respected author on the Russian secret services, said sources inside the FSB told him that Sergey Beseda, 68, head of the agency's foreign service, had been placed under arrest on Putin's orders.

Mr Ranganathan made clear his allegiance to the West Sussex town - whose other notable residents include England manager Gareth Southgate and Crown actress Erin Doherty - by calling his 2018 autobiography Straight Outta Crawley: Memoirs Of A Distinctly Average Human Being.

Putin is said to blame the agency for intelligence which assured him ahead of the invasion that Russian forces would face only token resistance from the Ukrainian army and that Ukrainians themselves were eager to be rid of their leaders.

The expert explained that the odds of you being murdered by a serial killer is 0.00039 per cent and that 'all serial killers are born psychopaths' but a mix of early trauma is what makes them deadly murders.

The 54-year-old academic and broadcaster told Donna Ferguson she has never owned a credit card, nor made any major mistakes with money.
But she is prepared to spend £135 on a massage as a treat because of the 'weird positions' she often finds herself in, crawling through tombs while filming at historic sites.
