The Cold War remains alive and well in New York City, where a trio of Russian nationals were acting as spies, federal investigators said Monday.

"The arrest of Evgeny Buryakov and the charges against him and his co-defendants make clear that - more than two decades after the presumptive end of the Cold War - Russian spies continue to seek to operate in our midst under cover of secrecy," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.

Buryakov, aka "Zhenya," was busted for posing as a banker to gather information, court papers contend.

Prosecutor Adam Fee said the evidence against Buryakov is “overwhelming.”

On "dozens if not hundreds" of recordings he was "caught doing the work of a spy" with his co-conspirators for the purpose of sending intelligence back to Moscow.
