Canadian Supreme Court rules son of Russian spies entitled to citizenship

• Bezrukov and Vavilova were carrying out "deep-cover" assignments for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service after the Cold War in the U.S., the Post writes.
• They stole the identities of two Canadians, who died as infants, and began developing their cover stories.
• Vavilov and his older brother Timofey claim they did not know their parents were Russian spies.

What they're saying: “The sins of parents ought not to be visited upon children without clear authorization by law,” Justice David Stratas wrote, according to the Post.

What's next: Timofey, who is also seeking citizenship, is still waiting on a ruling for his case, but the decision from his brother's will likely have a strong impact, the Post notes.
