Russians seem to like their red-headed spies.

Otherwise, I'd say Emily Blunt, Scarlett Johansson or Saroise Ronan.

ScarJo is playing a Russian in the Avengers/Iron Man movies and may finally have her own Black Widow movie in another year or two, so she might be out.

I think Amy Adams and others listed have faces that are too sympathetic. If they choose someone pretty, then they'll need the same makeup artist that turned Charlize Theron into Aileen Wuornos in Monster.

I think Jennifer channeled Maria Butina in that movie. Not so much that she looks like Butina, but the
story is about young Russian women trained as "honey pot" KGB agents that ensnare Western men.
She was tough as nails, and beautiful.
