New Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko has been getting all sorts of attention recently from Hollywood producers, magazine editors and legions of drooling fanboys. The Ukrainian actress, who plays a Bolivian secret agent opposite Daniel Craig’s 007 in “Quantum Of Solace”, has also gained ire of the Communist Party of St. Petersburg, which in an open letter on its website condemned her for aiding “the killer of hundreds of Soviet people and their allies.” The group’s statement describes 007 as “a man who worked for decades under the orders of Thatcher and Reagan to destroy the USSR.”

Her supposed betrayals will be forgiven, the group promised in its statement, if the actress delivers her co-star Craig to the Russian secret service. “Let him tell what other plans are being written in the Pentagon and Hollywood to discredit Russia and drive a wedge between the Russian and Ukrainian peoples.”
Ah, yes — when will Russia’s communist party settle its score with the USSR’s legions of fictional nemeses? Right after they capture Mr. Craig Bond, only to see him escape after they attempt to kill him in a comically absurd fashion while delivering a long expository monologue detailing their plans for world domination, they should immediatey pursue the two Rockies. Balboa, who besmirched the escutcheon of the Soviet empire by defeating hero of the people Ivan Drago, and he of the sidekick Bullwinkle, forever tormenting Soviet intelligence’s best assets — Boris and Natasha.
