The latest Indiana Jones film is nothing more than crude anti-Soviet propaganda and its stars are the "running dogs of the CIA", say Russian communists.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is set in 1957 at
the height of the Cold War, with Harrison Ford as a swashbuckling
American archaeologist who races an evil KGB agent to find a skull
endowed with mystical powers.
"What galls is how together with
America we defeated Hitler, and how we sympathised when Bin Laden hit
them," said Viktor Perov, a Communist Party member in St Petersburg.
"But they go ahead and scare kids with communists. These people have no
shame."
Andrei Gindos, another party member, decried Ford and
Cate Blanchett, the Oscar winner who plays the KGB agent, as
"second-rate actors, serving as the running dogs of the CIA". He added:
"We need to deprive these people of the right to enter our country."
