The Egorovs, who were arrested and charged as spies against the United States in July of this year, were taken to the airport for flight to Russia. Americans Marvin W. Makinen, imprisoned in Russia since 1961, and Roman Catholic priest Reverend Walter Ciszek, imprisoned since 1940, were released by Russia in the swap.
