Russia communits say Ukraine Bond girl a traitor

First it was Indiana Jones. Now it's James Bond's latest lady friend. The Communist Party says Olga Kurylenko, the Ukranian-born model who plays a Bolivian agent in the latest Bond film,"Quantum of Solace," has betrayed her roots.

"In the name of all communists we appeal to you prodigal daughter of poor Ukraine and deserter of Slavic world," the party said in an open letter dated Oct. 21 and posted on their Web site Friday.

The Soviet Union "gave you free education, free medical care but nobody knew you would commit an act of intellectual and moral betrayal that you would become a movie kept girl of Bond, who in his movies kills hundreds of Soviet people and citizens of other socialist countries: Cubans, Vietnamese, North Koreans, Chinese and Nicaraguans," the party said.

Sergei Malenkovich head of the party's regional organization told the AP that the latest Bond movie is "an insult for Russians." "In this movie they wanted to show that a Ukranian girl sleeps with an American. It's a part of information and psychological war," he said.

Recently the party took great umbrage at "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which features an evil KGB agent played by Cate Blanchett saying the film undermined ideology and distorted history.
