Irina is a character from the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by Minnie Driver.
Biography: Irina is the mistress of Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky, an ex-KGB agent turned Russian mafia head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar factory. She is in only one scene of the film when Bond and Zukovsky are making a deal in Zukovky’s bar. In that scene she is on stage dressed as a cowgirl and singing Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man”. She sings off-key and with her Russian accent it comes out more like “Stand vie Yir Mon” causing Bond to comment to Zukovsky “Who strangled the cat?”. Then Zukovsky yells to Irina to “Take a hike”. Irina and her back-up singers angrily storm off the stage.
