Ten convicted Russian spies deported from the United States arrived on Friday to Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport on a Russian Emergency Ministry plane, the airport said.
The ten pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges of failing to register as agents of a foreign government and were deported from the United States in exchange for the release by Russia of four Russians convicted of spying for the West and pardoned by President Dmitry Medvedev.
The spies were flown out of Vienna to Moscow after arriving on a charter flight from New York.
