The Union of Soviet Super Soldiers (USSS):
It's 1976 or 1977. At least 12 years since the avengers were founded in the US. The Soviet Union is desperate to create their own superhero team to rival the avengers. They've tried to create figures like the Red Guardian, or the Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man before, but it always fails. But perhaps it's because they never assembled a proper team? That's the logic that leads to the creation of the Union of Soviet Super Soldiers (Or USSS for short) in 1976 or 1977.
Founded in July 1976, the original team consists of:
Red Guardian III (Vladimir Ivanov): I already have a whole note on him. But he's the team leader, and one of the members of the team most devoted to Communism.
Vanguard (Nikolai Krylenko): He's a real comics character. I'm pretty sure you can find info on him through a Marvel Wiki or through Google (that's how I learned of him).
The Winter Witch (Katerina Obolensky): Abandoned as a child in the snowy mountains of Siberia, Katerina Obolensky learned to be one with the ice and snow. Nobody is sure if she's a mutant or some kind of demigod, but she is definitely powerful. Capable of controlling the ice, snow and winds at a single thought. She can generate winds, blizzards, avalanches, etc. When in her natural element she is a god amongst men. But when she's far separated from any form of cold, she becomes weak and frail.
The Gift-Bringer (Adrian Abel): Adrian Abel is a mutant. Born with the uncanny ability to control poison and even generate it (they can turn their whole body into poison dust or into liquid poison, for instance), they were considered a threat to others and sent off to an elite mutant training facility in Russia. There, they learned how to control their powers and make themselves less dangerous to others. Worst comes to worst, they were at least given a containment suit to prevent them from accidentally killing anyone with their poison.
Considering how powerful they are, it's only natural Adrian was recruited to the USSS. They're both powerful and extremely volatile, however. So they possibly be the most dangerous person on the team. So they require extreme protective measures to ensure they don't accidentally poison the people they're trying to help.
PS: Adrian is the only character not originally from the USSR. They're East German. I realized the German word for poison is gift due to google translate, and so I couldn't resist this bit of humour.
Crimson Dynamo (Dmitri Bukharin): Same as Vanguard. The Crimson Dynamo (including this version of him) is a real comics character who can find out more about through Google or a Marvel Wiki or something.
If you're wondering where in the timeline of comics this is supposed to be, it's shortly after Darkstar defects to the US to join The Champions. And she will join this team eventually, if someone (either me or literally anyone else) takes this idea past the concept stage.

For the whole history of NIKOLAI KRYLENKO, please click here.
← ONCE THERE WAS AN IDEA TO BRING TOGETHER →
Although he’s given up the Red Guardian title, Nikolai has kept the Red Guardian equipment while he once again resumes the Vanguard name. The Winter Guard are working well together once more, and it’s nice to have Laynia by his side again. It takes a lot to keep them in line, but Nikolai considers himself a leader who can rise to the challenge. He’ll do whatever it takes to be the most productive of Winter Guard that he can, even when disputes break out. He hasn’t given his entire life to the cause for no reason. Trained to be a good soldier, Nikolai will be just that.
←  A GROUP OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY →
✗ LAYNIA PETROVNA (616) is Nikolai’s twin. The two were taken and trained as super-soldiers from birth following the manifestation of their mutation, and things haven’t always been easy. When Laynia was killed, Nikolai’s drive to avenge or resurrect her caused a schism in the Winter Guard. She’s back now, much to Nikolai’s great relief. He works better knowing his sister is alive and well.
✗ WENDALL VAUGHN (616) got involved with Nikolai, Laynia and the Winter Guard before Nikolai was killed. He played a part in Vanguard’s death and was blamed by Laynia, but eventually helped to make it right. The two haven’t had much contact since then. There’s been no reason for them to.
← COULD BECOME SOMETHING MORE  →
✗ THE WINTER GUARD → Serving on the Winter Guard for the good of his country is an honor. Nikolai has devoted his life to his motherland, and the Winter Guard is just the next step in this patriotism. The team isn’t a family like the Avengers claim to be, even though they’re often called the Russian counterpart. Being on the Winter Guard is an honor, and Nikolai knows it. He doesn’t take it lightly.
✗ OTHER AFFILIATIONS – n/a.

700 words written today. I might have maybe gotten through the fight scene, take ten million? I am feeling much better about this version, anyway.
Snippet from Of Home Near chapter 11.
The man – Nikolai Krylenko – had just enough time to shout, “Aleks –” Natasha was there before he could finish Lebedev’s name, sweeping his legs out from under him and turning to slam the heel of her left hand up into the underside of the woman’s chin in the same motion.  Her right foot cracked into Krylenko’s skull and carried around in a kick that struck the woman across the ribs.  Both Soviets dropped without ever getting in a blow. “Rogers, stop screwing around in there!” Natasha yelled. Peggy felt rather than heard the approach of the woman behind her.  She turned, bringing her gun up two-handed to block the woman’s downwards knife blow.  The blade skittered off the metal of the barrel with a horrible scraping noise and Peggy kicked outwards without success, the woman twisting out of the way and dropping her knife as she did so.  She caught it in her other hand, slashing outwards and catching the front of Peggy’s tunic with the tip of the blade.  The fabric tore as Peggy jumped backwards, out of immediate arm’s reach. There was a crash from behind her, sounding like it came from inside the room rather than out in the hallway.  Peggy saw the newcomer’s gaze flicker quickly over her shoulder before going back to Peggy. Without looking back at Natasha, Peggy said, “I can handle this.  Go get Steve.”

Additional notes: Presence is the father of two mutants, Nikolai Krylenko (who has been both Vanguard and Red Guardian) and Laynia Petrovna (better known as Darkstar). He is famously an enemy of the Defenders and Avengers. He is responsible for the conversion of Defenders member, the second Red Guardian (Tania Belinskaya), later known as Starlight, into a radioactively-powered being while she was under his mental control. He later demonstrated the ability to transform people into enthralled radiation zombies, which was reversible.

Gruß aus dem Urlaub
LePenseur:»von LePenseur  ... diesmal ganz speziell an den geschätzten Kollegen Lechner, dem die Symphonie No. 6 in es-moll, op. 23 von Nikolai Mjaskowski, komponiert in den Jahren 1921-23, (vermutlich/hoffentlich!) gefallen wird:  1. Poco largamente, ma allegro - Allegro feroce 2. Presto tenebroso - Andante moderato - Presto (22:30) 3. Andante appassionato - Molto più appassionato e rubato - Ancora più animato - Andante sostenuto, con tenerezza e gran espressione (31:26) 4. Allegro molto vivace (46:32)  Youtube liefert eine m.E. recht gute Bescheibung des Werkes (das in dieser Aufnahme durch das Göte-borg Symphonieorchester unter Neeme Järvi erklingt): The Symphony No. 6 in E-flat minor, Op. 23 was composed between 1921 and 1923. It is the largest and most ambitious of his 27 symphonies, planned on a Mahlerian scale, and uses a chorus in the finale. It has been described as 'probably the most significant Russian symphony between Tchaikovsky's Pathétique and the Fourth Symphony of Shostakovich'. (Myaskovsky in fact wrote part of the work in Klin, where Tchaikovsky wrote the Pathétique.) The premiere took place at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow on 4 May 1924, conducted by Nikolai Golovanov and was a notable success.  Soviet commentators used to describe the work as an attempt to portray the develop-ment and early struggles of the Soviet state, but it is now known that its roots were more personal. The harsh, emphatically descending chordal theme with which the symphony begins apparently arose in the composer's mind at a mass rally in which he heard the Soviet Procurator Nikolai Krylenko conclude his speech with the call "Death, death to the enemies of the revolution!"  Myaskovsky had been affected by the deaths of his father, his close friend Alexander Revidzev and his aunt Yelikonida Konstantinovna Myaskovskaya, and especially by seeing his aunt’s body in a bleak, empty Petrograd flat during the winter of 1920. In 1919 the painter Lopatinsky, who had been living in Paris, sang Myaskovsky some French Revolutionary songs which were still current among Parisian workers: these would find their way into the symphony's finale. He was also influenced by Les Aubes (The Dawns), a verse drama by the Belgian writer Emile Verhaeren, which enacted the death of a revolutionary hero and his funeral  The scherzo is apparently inspired by the winter winds blowing outside the house where the composer's aunt lay dead, with an Andante moderato trio that loosely references the simpleton's Lament in Mussorgsky's Boris Godonuv, Act IV, Scene II, ("Tears, bitter tears must fall, Our holy people must weep ... Woe, woe unto Russia! Weep, weep Russian folk, Hungry folk") The episodic finale begins with a bright E flat major fantasia on the French revolu-tionary songs Ah! ça ira and Carmagnole then turning to a dark C minor with the Dies Irae. A clarinet introduces the melody of a Russian Orthodox burial hymn, 'How the Soul Parted from the Body' (Shto mui vidyeli? – 'What did we see? A miraculous wonder, a dead body ...'). The chorus enters with wailing cries that punctuate a setting of the hymn. In the coda the main theme of the third movement returns as the basis of a peaceful epilogue.Das Werk ist mit seiner Dauer von über einer Stunde Mjaskowskis längste Symphonie und sticht auch durch seine große Orchesterbesetzung (so bspw. dreifaches Holz, 6 Hörner, zahlreiches Schlagwerk, Harfe, Celesta und Chor) aus dem übrigen Symphonie-Korpus des Komponisten hervor. Ein großes Werk, dessen musikalisches Format m.E. die eingesetzten Mittel mehr als rechtfertigt — ein auch ein Jahrhundert nach seiner Entstehung frisch und lebendig anzuhörendes Meisterwerk! http://dlvr.it/STR547 «

Being a superhero in the Soviet Union would, by nature, require also being a guerilla or at least an agitator. The Soviet government did not like do gooders and it certainly didn't like them outside of state control.

From Winter Guard #001

For the whole history of LAYNIA SERGEIEVNA PETROVNA, please click here.
← ONCE THERE WAS AN IDEA TO BRING TOGETHER →
Life with the Winter Guard is as it always is. The team serves its function and gets everything done that it needs to. Back from the dead, Laynia enjoys working with them once more and is glad to see that her twin, Vanguard, is doing well ever since her resurrection. Some may wonder about the moral obligations of the Russian based team -- especially with their connection to the mysterious Red Widow -- but Laynia knows in her heart that she’s in the right place. It’s what makes her happy and it’s what she’s always done.
←  A GROUP OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY →
✗ NIKOLAI KRYLENKO (616) is Laynia’s twin brother and fellow member of the Winter Guard. He’s fiercely protective of his sister; when she died, he was so determined to either avenge or restore her that it led to a schism in the Guard. Now, Laynia is back and the two have settled into a routine once more. She knows Nikolai would do anything for her and Laynia returns the sentiments. They remain incredibly close.
✗ NATHASHA ROMANOFF (616) was once the target of the USSR that Laynia was supposed to bring in. Instead of doing so she joined Natasha’s team, the Champions of Los Angeles, and became her friend. The two keep in touch some but aren’t incredibly close. Natasha’s disowning of Russia and Laynia’s continual service to the country will always be a huge difference between the two.
✗ BOBBY DRAKE (616) and Laynia grew close when Laynia was a Champion and the two almost dated -- which, in retrospect, wouldn’t have worked out since Bobby is gay. Laynia didn’t know that at the time and the two ultimately decided to just be friends.
← COULD BECOME SOMETHING MORE  →
✗ THE WINTER GUARD → They’re Russia’s answer to the Avengers. The team has a rotating roster, and Laynia has served on it in a few different iterations. They’re not the Avengers, though. They don’t have the family kind of vibe even though there’s literal family on the team. Laynia doesn’t really mind. She’s serving her country and making them proud.
✗ OTHER AFFILIATIONS -- n/a.
← & IF WE CAN’T SAVE THE WORLD, WE’LL AVENGE IT →
✗ AGE → late 20′s ✗ MULTIVERSE ORIGIN → 616 ✗ SPECIES → mutant possessed by dire wraith ✗ ETHNICITY → up to player ✗ SECRET IDENTITY → private ✗ RELATIONSHIP STATUS → open ✗ FACECLAIM → sasha luss ✗ AVAILABILITY → open
← FUN FACTS →
