Jennifer Lawrence's new movie is based on what intelligence operatives say used to be a 'school' run by the Soviet Union teaching sex techniques
The Soviet Union once ran a school to train young women in sex to help to entrap diplomats.
Jennifer Lawrence's new film - the spy thriller Red Sparrow - is based around the story of a young ballerina sent to train in seduction and sexual techniques.
While the story may sound far fetched, there is a lot of truth in it, according to the author of the novel on which the film is based .
Lawrence stars as Dominika Egorova, a ballerina in modern day Russia who suffers a career-ending injury that leads her into the shadowy world of espionage.
She is sent to learn to be a "Sparrow" - a woman who will use her body to trap enemies of the Russian state.
The film is a throwback to the years when spycraft was steeped in the concept of "kompromat" – using seduction instead of technology to lure diplomats and businessmen into divulging sensitive information, or blackmailing them outright.
The events of Red Sparrow are an amalgam of former CIA officer turned author Jason Matthews' own anecdotes from his years as a clandestine officer.
"The Russians have for many, many years, used women to try and sexually entrap [high-ranking foreign officials] for blackmail purposes, to try and tell their secrets," he told CNBC.
"If the conditions are right, in Moscow, someone with access to secrets is having one too many drinks in a Moscow bar, and a young lady for sure will sidle up to them and see how far it goes."
According to Matthews, who has more than three decades of national security experience, the movie's narrative is in fact art imitating real life.
At the height of the Iron Curtain years of the 1960s and 70s, Matthews said Russian sources spoke of "a 'Sparrow' school, a state school where women trained in these arts.
"I think that's long since closed," he admits.
The elite training consisted of instruction in "how to elicit conversation, how to open a bottle of champagne, little things like that, at a time when the average woman in the Soviet Union wasn't groomed in such worldly things," said Matthews, who retired from the CIA in 2010.
According to the Telegraph what little is known of the real spy schools has come from reports of ex agents.
One former KGB agent, director of foreign intelligence Oleg Kalugin, has said that the Soviet intelligence agency didn't ask Russian women to stand up for their country but "asked them to lay down".
Another account comes from KGB Lt Gen Leonid Vladimirovich Shebarshin, who recalls living in a “dilapidated” dormitory through the week, learning “Photography in all its special variations; the preparation of microdots; secret writing; methods of communication; ways to covertly remove information; the fundamentals of acquiring sources and work with them; methods of conducting surveillance and techniques for detecting it – all of that was new and extremely fascinating”.
Among the other 'arts' in the world of espionage is the art of seduction.
One might think they belong more to the exaggerated world of James Bond than fact, but employing seduction as an effective method of espionage is ancient.
Both men and women have been set as honeytraps in the past – whether that’s erotic dancer-turned-double agent Mata Hari in the First World War, or East Germany’s “Romeo spies” sent into the West on gigolo duty to seduce women of influence during the Cold War.
Things have changed today though, as Matthews told the New Yorker: "The Western services do not use sex as a motivator like the Russians used to.
"There is no sexpionage, there is no blackmail, there is no coercion.
"The FSB (formerly KGB) no longer have a Sparrow School.
"I think for instance if a foreign diplomat engaged a young lady in a hotel bar in Moscow she is probably an independent contractor and the FSB would use what they have on the guy, but they don’t do it as a rule."

The Moscow academy - which counts Vladimir Putin among its alumni - is still shrouded in secrecy even though it closed its doors in 1991
STARTLING Cold War images reveal what life was like inside the top secret KGB school where Russia's spies honed their deadly skills.
The Moscow academy - which counts Vladimir Putin among its alumni - is still shrouded in secrecy even though it closed its doors in 1991.
Today's pictures come just days after former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned by a nerve agent in the UK.
They remain in a critical condition at Salisbury District Hospital - as diplomatic relations between London and Moscow hit a new low.
It's all a bit reminiscent on the 60s, 70s, and 80s when wannabe spies were hand-picked from elite Soviet universities and trained to kill.
KGB bosses are even believed to have built an "American town" in the Ukraine so spies could learn how to live secretly in the US.
In the town, the trainee agents apparently drove American cars using American traffic regulations and watched American movies.
The Soviets insisted "Coca Cola City", as it became known, never existed but those that attended the academy say otherwise.
The recruits learned several languages as well as counter-intelligence and investigative skills.
They were also taught how to fight - with shooting, martial arts and hand-to-hand fighting competitions a regular feature on the curriculum.
While in the espionage academy they also learned how to use technology and tricks to get one over on their American rivals.
And - just like fictional spy James Bond - they just loved a gadget.
In their armoury were shoes hiding tiny cameras, a tie containing a lens and a purse with a hidden microphone.
Among the other secretive arts of the world of espionage taught were the arts of seduction - still used today.
Not surprisingly, canny KGB bosses even found a way to disguise a gun as lipstick.
For 74 years, the KGB was much more than a spy agency.
It was like America's CIA, the FBI and the National Security Agency all rolled into one.
To the Soviet people it was an instrument of terror that would pluck people from the safety of their homes and send them to some Siberian gulag.
The KGB was truly the Ministry of Fear.
Its gruesomely named Department of Wet Affairs (Mokriye Dela) assassinated its enemies abroad.
In the 80s, it also succeeded in recruiting an astonishing number of spies in United States intelligence and defence agencies.
When it disbanded in 1991 its intelligence arm split in two.
The SVR is now the successor to the foreign intelligence arm of the KGB, while the FSB looks after domestic affairs.
