As for Oleg, the wheels turn very slowly, but the process Philip sets in motion way back when he first runs into Elina Burova finally pans out, and he’s returned to Russia sometime in the very late 1990s. He rejoins his wife and his young son, and never works for the KGB or the SVR or in fact any branch of the Russian government again.
As for Martha, she adopts the orphan child presented to her at the end of season five, and deliberately choosing a name that could be pronounced in either Russian or English, she calls her Liliya, Lily affectionately. And while it takes some time and a lot of false starts with other men, she eventually does fall in love with a Russian man named Anatoly/Tolya. When they first meet, he’s working in a government-run food store, but as the Soviet Union falls apart and society changes around them, he breaks away from that and goes into the import-export business. Then, just before the turn of the millennium, Tolya is offered a position at a company in Tunisia, and after some back and forth (and checking to see whether Tunisia has an extradition treaty with the US), the family eventually moves there. Martha never does go back to the United States, and she never does see her parents again. And although first she and Lily and later she, Tolya, and Lily live in Moscow for more than ten years before they move on to Tunisia, overlapping with the time Philip and Elizabeth live there, she never does run into either of them.
