Soviet diehards see red over 'betrayal' by 007 girl Olga Kurylenko
Tony Halpin in Moscow
Bond girls often come to a sticky end but Olga Kurylenko will be hoping that the Communists never get hold of her.
Kurylenko, the Ukrainian actress who plays Bond's sidekick in Quantum of Solace, has been condemned by the Communist Party of St Petersburg for aiding the killer of hundreds of Soviet people and their allies. Apparently oblivious to Bond's fictional nature, it accused her of assisting a man who worked for decades under the orders of Thatcher and Reagan to destroy the USSR.
In an appeal to the actress on its website, the party said: The Soviet Union educated you, cared for you and brought you up for free but no one suspected that you would commit this act of intellectual and moral betrayal.
It is not the first time the Communists of St Petersburg or Leningrad, as they would rather it be called have taken aim at perfidious Western films. Earlier this year they claimed that the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, set in the Cold War in 1957, was a vehicle for crude anti-Soviet propaganda and lambasted the antics of Harrison Ford and his ruthless Russian nemesis Cate Blanchett, calling them capitalist puppets.
The party declared that Ford had no future in Russia any more a message that apparently failed to reach the country's cinemagoers, who flocked to see the film at a record 808 screens.

Another Olga Pic:
Not Guilty!

Not Guilty!
Not guilty? How about ‘pure as the wind driven snow!’
Hey girl!
I’d hit it.

She could not be a part of any "cold" war.
Don’t you just hate it when the Ukrainians bite the hand that starved them?
NOT GUILTY!!!
Russia be warned! James Bond will continue to undermine and sabotage your plans to revive the russian empire and he is licensed to kill!
Shhh, nobody tell them that their letters to Santa are being intercepted by the CIA...

She kicked butt in Hitman.
She looks nicer than the red headed Rooskie that Mr. Bond had to previously deal with...
Really!
I've been to Ukraine twice and I've never seen more beautiful women. Just stunning! And they're all sweethearts. And they love American men!
That's why I married one of 'em!
