Featured here is the October Guard, the Soviet Union's answer to the G.I. Joe team (despite the presence of a Czech and a German, the team's membership is overwhelmingly Soviet, and it is unlikely to have been controlled by the Warsaw Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance). From left to right, they are Sergeant Misha (Sgt. Misha L. Zubenkov), Lieutenant Gorky (Lt. Mikhail P. Gorky), Red Star (Captain First Rank Anatoly Fyodorovich Krimov), Big Bear (Sgt. Grigori Ivanovich Rostoff), Colonel Brekhov (Col. Ivan Nikolevich Brekhov), Horrorshow (Stepan Drukersky), Volga (Lt. Daina L. Janack), Stormavik (classified), Schrage, and Dragonsky (M. Sgt. Andrei Freisov).
Of course, the picture (like "Cobra!") is not accurate according to the strict canon of the comic series (Sgt. Misha, Lt. Gorky, and Red Star were added to the team after Col. Brekhov, Horrorshow, Stormavik, and Schrage were killed, and Big Bear never appeared at all). Nevertheless, like "Cobra!" and "The Phoenix Guard," it is intended to show all members of the group.
As always, questions, comments, &c. are welcome.
