Russia is trying, in secret, Alexander Zaporozhsky, for spying for the United States from 1996 to 2001. Zaporozhsky is accused of revealing, to the CIA, the names of twenty Russian spies in the United States. Zaporozhsky could get 15 years in prison if convicted. Since the trial is being held in secret, it's not known which American spies Zaporozhsky is accused of giving up. There have been several Russian spies caught in the late 1990s, and in some cases it was clear that key information came from someone in Russia.
