Communists call Bond girl a disgrace to her people

Russia's Communist Party has declared that Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko, the starlet cast opposite Daniel Craig in the James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace," is a disgrace to her people.

"In the name of all communists, we appeal to you, prodigal daughter of poor Ukraine and deserter of Slavic world," the party said in prose posted Friday on its Web site. The Soviet Union, it says, "gave you free education, free medical care, but nobody knew you would commit an act of ... moral betrayal" by playing the love-interest to Bond, "who in his movies kills hundreds of Soviet people."

Party official Sergei Malenkovich told the Associated Press that "Quantum" was "an insult for Russians. ... It's a part of information and psychological war."
