Olga Kurylenko

Posted by Consigliere on May 20th, 2010

Olga Kurylenko is the first Bond girl from a post-Soviet era and she received mixed reactions in post-Soviet countries. The Saint Petersburg-based Communist group KPLO has accused her of “moral and intellectual betrayal” in starring in a film about the “enemy of the Soviet people” (meaning James Bond), but Olga considered that a PR move. The mayor of Berdyansk has even suggested naming a street after her. Olga and her mother also met Ukraine’s First Lady Kateryna in President Yushchenko’s family country house.
