A sergeant in the Spetnaz, assigned to the unit to replace losses.

* BullyingADragon: Surrounded by a number of Tucaro holding them at gunpoint, Misha makes several racist statements. The only one who can speak English tells him that he ''really'' doesn't want that translated to his fellows.
* TemptingFate: After fighting a few Cobra troopers, he thinks he and Roadblock have driven them off. Roadblock notes that people who have numerical superiority ''don't'' retreat; Cobra's just pulled back because they're about to bomb them into the ground.

* ChummyCommies: The GI Joes' opposite number but still dedicated to destroying Cobra.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Oktober Guard and GI Joe teaming up against Cobra invokes the Soviet Union and America fighting the Nazis.
* FriendlyEnemy: When they're fighting the GI Joes, there is a lot of respect and usually an EnemyMine situation.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: When the Joes and the Oktober Guard team up, they are usually at each other's throats.
* WhyWereBummedCommunismFell: The Oktober Guard generally react very poorly to the fall of the Soviet Union in their post 1992 appearances.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rah_oktober_guard.png]]

!!!'''Real Name:''' Ivan Nikolevich Brekhov
->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/GreggBerger
The Ukrainian-born commander of the Guard, Colonel Brekhov is a consummate soldier with a sharp strategic mind.
----
* AdaptedOut: In the comics he was frequently seen smoking a cigar. He never did this in the cartoon.
* AFatherToHisMen: A characteristic he shares with Hawk and Duke. Alongside [[Characters/IronManCentralRoguesGallery Dmitri Bukharin/Crimson Dynamo]] he stands out as one of the few Cold War-era Soviet Colonels that Marvel does ''not'' depict as a BadBoss.
* KilledOffForReal: In the Marvel comic, Brekhov and most of his teammates are killed in [[BananaRepublic Sierra Gordo]] after a standoff with Destro's Iron Grenadiers.
* TheLeader: He commands the unit and is pretty much the Soviet counterpart of Duke.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: He and Daina can be seen being in the middle of a game when the Joes arrive at their headquarters.

[[quoteright:534:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daina_gi_joe.png]]
!!!'''Real Name:''' Daina L. Janack
->'''Voiced By:'''
The only woman on the original team, First Lieutenant Daina Janack was recruited into the Guard after an impressive showing in the Czech Army. She has [[JackOfAllStats a multitude of talents]], and her skills have gotten the team out of tight spots on numerous occasions.
----
* AcePilot: Not shown in her home series but she appears in ''Transformers'' piloting an experimental fighter jet, that's stolen by the EgomaniacHunter, Lord Chumley.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Blonde in the comics, brunette in the cartoon.
* ContinuityCameo: Makes a brief cameo in the Transformers episode ''[[Recap/TransformersG1PrimeTarget Prime Target]]''.
* PinkMeansFeminine: In the cartoon, Daina wore a bright pink Telogreika, even in the desert.
** The Marvel comic averted this: She wore a green camo outfit as her standard uniform, occasionally switching to a light brown tank top and shorts for hotter environments (such as jungles and deserts). She also wore an aviator hat instead of an ushanka.
* TheSmartGuy: One of the smartest members of the team, with Colonel Brekhov acknowledging that her skills as a tactician are second only to his own.
* SoleSurvivor: She was one of two members of the Oktober Guard to survive the disastrous mission in Sierra Gordo that killed most of the original team. The DDP comics have her eventually join the Joes under the codename Vorona.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Horrorshow. She tended to be offended by his sexism and annoyed by his brutishness, but in a pinch, the two would have each others' backs.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/horrorshow_gi_joe.png]]
!!!'''Real Name:''' Stepan Drukersky
->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/FrankWelker
A [[UsefulNotes/GeorgiaCaucasus Georgian]] specializing in infantry and small-arms, Horrorshow is on the stout side and does not have the brightest mind, but his superiors have come to appreciate his loyalty and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
----
* TheBigGuy: Horrorshow is the burliest, most aggressive, member of the Guard.
* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. He wasn't particularly stupid, but he was also nowhere near as intelligent as Brekhov and Daina, so compared to them he didn't seem like the brightest bulb.
* KilledOffForReal: In the Marvel ''Special Missions'' comic, he's killed by Iron Grenadiers in Sierra Gordo.
* TheRival: He and Gung-Ho develop an instant dislike for each other upon meeting and even come to blows a couple times. They eventually come to respect the other.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Horrorshow and Daina commonly argued like teenage siblings; Horrorshow would make a sexist comment that Daina didn't appreciate, and she retaliated with a biting snark about Horrorshow's weight. But when push came to shove, the two would have each other's back.

----
* BadassBandolier: Wears a metal bandolier over his uniform.
* KilledOffForReal: Like Horrorrshow and Brekhov, Stormavik died during the SuicideMission in Sierra Gordo.
* NoNameGiven: His real name is classified.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Expressed discomfort at having to fight Scarlett for this reason, citing there was no honor in it. It becomes a moot point, though, as Scarlett proves so much better at close-quarters combat that she knocks him down before he can even get within arm's length of her.

The only Chinese member of the team, born in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Though he is only an Officer Cadet, he is a skilled reconnaissance expert.
