Jeremy Black in his great book The Politics of James Bond refers to The Man From Barbarossa's themes turning up in the 1995 film (and Gardner novelisation) GoldenEye. Does anyone here care to comment on these links. I can think of a few - criminals in the post-Cold War world seeking to profit from it, dachas, mentions of the 1991 coup d'etat, General Yevgeny Yuskovich being a forebear of the next 'Iron Man' of Russia - General Ourumov. Anyone else want to contribute on this (perhaps) obscure but very interesting topic?
