The woman accused by federal prosecutors of working as a secret Russian agent wed a much-older, government-connected Princeton University professor during her decades of living in the US — and fled the country after the FBI raided her $1 million Upper West Side condo with a terrace overlooking Central Park.
Elena Branson — a Russian native who was named in a six-count federal complaint Tuesday — gained dual US citizenship after marrying the late William Branson, who was 23 years her senior and had a daughter just four years younger than his bride.
William Branson, who died of throat cancer in 2006, was an expert in international economics and a longtime consultant to the World Bank who also served on former President Richard Nixon’s Council of Economic Advisers, according to his obituary on Princeton’s website.
