Russians slam Bond girl for ‘sleeping with the enemy’

IF Daniel Craig thought he had problems dealing with 007 critics, erstwhile fans and know-it-all Fleming buffs, wait till the St Petersburg communists get a hold of him.

Cold war thriller writers have been guilty in the past of blurring the lines between fact and fiction, but now one group of Russians with a grá for the intrigue-ridden past are taking it a bit further.

Angry with their compatriot Olga Kurylenko, a Bond girl in the latest 007 flick, they have condemned her for aiding and abetting “the killer of hundreds of Soviet people and their allies” over the years. That’s James Bond, by the way, a man who would be about 80 by now.
