RED STAR commands the OKTOBER GUARD, which is the Russian version of the G.I. JOE® team, and was formerly part of the “crack” Black Sea Regiment of the Soviet Naval Infantry (the equivalent of the United States Marine Corps). He was the youngest chess master in Odessa at the age of eleven, and is a published Pushkin scholar, his monograph on “Boris Godonov” being considered the definitive work. In his spare time, he coaches the pistol team at the Dynamo Sports Club in Moscow

“When an experienced field commander was needed to lead the OKTOBER GUARD, RED STAR leaped at the chance. He wasn’t about to let the top volunteers from all the best units be led by just anyone; they deserved the best, and he made sure they got it.”
