A woman who says she was trained as a Russian seduction agent has described a regimented state programme in which recruits rehearsed oral technique on bananas held at a fixed angle, part of what she calls a clinical, joyless curriculum designed to turn intimacy into tradecraft.
Aliia Roza, who claims she was groomed from childhood for Russian intelligence before defecting more than two decades ago, has detailed the alleged training in a series of podcast interviews that have since gone viral.
