ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) -
Russian Communist Party
members condemned the new "Indiana Jones" film on Friday as
crude, anti-Soviet propaganda that distorts history and called
for it to be banned from Russian screens.
"What galls is how together with America we defeated
Hitler, and how we sympathized when Bin Laden hit them. But
they go ahead and scare kids with Communists. These people have
no shame," said Viktor Perov, a Communist Party member in
Russia's second city of St. Petersburg.
"Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett (are) second-rate actors,
serving as the running dogs of the CIA. We need to deprive
these people of the right of entering the country," said
another party member, Andrei Gindos.
Vladimir Mukhin, another member of the local Communist
Party, said in comments posted on the Internet site that he
would ask Russia's Culture Ministry to ban the film for its
"anti-Soviet propaganda."
