Default Winter Guard Week: Golden Age Russian teams?

Since this is Winter Guard week, I have taken it upon myself to start some Russian character threads. This is the first.

Considering that this is the glorious 70th Anniversary of the Timely/Marvel Golden Age characters, and that the Soviet Union lost 300 million men during the Great Patriotic War, it stands to reason that we should discuss some of the Russian/Soviet characters that existed in the 30s or who are retcons.

Can anyone think of any Russian characters from the Golden Age? I can only think of the Red Guardian from Namor Annual #1, and he was a retcon.

Seriously, some writer needs to creat a team of kickass Soviet superbeings who were the terror of the Eastern front.

Thoughts?

Andy Diggle: The new team leader is Yelena Belova, the "evil" Black Widow II. She's a bad-ass Russian agent with a chip on her shoulder. Very capable, very seductive, very deadly.

Я вспоминаю как мальчик как раз будучи влюблянным Советским Союзом. Я пожрал все книги о их как ребенок, и couldn' t получает достаточно. Принесите на Советы, торопливость столба.

Well, he's more 50s Silver Agey, but you get points for obscurity, and being the writer.

There seems to be a real dearth of WWII era Russian heroes. Some talented writer is going to have to create some that can hold there own with the Invaders.

Translates to:
I remember as a boy falls in love just as the Soviet Union. I devoured all the books about them as a child, and couldn 't get enough. Bring on the Soviets, post haste.

Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Gallaher and other posters.

Hope these appreciation week posts are helping spread the word about the Winter Guard one-shot.

Any plans for some Golden Age Soviet goodness if the mini/ongoing gets greenlit?
