My contact in the world of Eastern Orthodoxy notes the unsurprising reaction of Russian Communists to the casting of a Ukrainian in the latest Bond film.
Among other terms the Communists occur to Olga Kurylenko as "Wanton Daughter of unclean Ukraine and deserter of the Slavic world." Tell us how you really feel, comrades. I guess the whole Dale Carnegie craze has run its course over there.
