... that a Canadian Supreme Court case about administrative law granted citizenship to a child of covert Russian agents? The son of Russian spies has spoken of his relief after a court decided to let him keep his Canadian citizenship. The son of two deep-cover Russian spies says he feels “an overwhelming sense of relief” after winning his long-running battle to regain his Canadian citizenship.
- ALT1:... that The Americans was based on the story behind a Canadian Supreme Court case? The family's story inspired the US television show The Americans, about two deep undercover Russian spies living and starting a family in the United States. Their story became part of the Emmy-nominated television series, "The Americans."

Comment: I deliberately didn't say "spies" in the main hook, even though the sources use that term, because I'm not sure if they actually did any spying, per se. Not averse to "spies" if the reviewer thinks it's better.

all checks out, new enough, long enough, QPQ done, definitely an interesting hook, stick with "covert agents" that's much more encyclopedic in my humble opinion. Nothing standing in the way of this one. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:57, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
