Elena Miller, originally known as Yelena Borisovna Olshanskaya, is a Russian who, as alleged by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), lived in Canada as a spy, using the name of a dead child as a cover.
[1][2][3][4] In the early 1990s, Yelena Olshanskaya came to live in Canada under the alias Laurie Catherine Mary Lambert (nee Brodie).
[1] On 27 May 1996, CBC television correspondent Neil MacDonald reported the arrest of Ian and Laurie Lambert, a married couple living in a Toronto apartment, as Russian spies.
In the early 1990s, the couple had come separately to Canada under Russian names Yelena Borisovna Olshanskaya and Dmitriy Olshansky.
[2] On 30 November 2006, Canadian Federal Court Justice James Hugessen dismissed the suit, stating that Canadian officials had acted appropriately in the interests of the nation, and had done "the best they could to assess a claim by an unmasked Russian spy to an exemption and special treatment by the country whose hospitality she so grossly abused.
