October guard package art ???

[ChadVamp]

Ok so does anyone know what the Russian writing around the red star on the joecon box set says?

"Gvardiya Velikogo Oktyabrya" (pronounced "Gvardia Velikovo Oktyabra")

Guard of Great October, in reference to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 (which took place on November 7th according to the modern calender, but October 25th according to the Julian calendar used in Russia prior to early 1918.)

Although the Revolution itself is no longer celebrated, there is still a military parade every year in commemoration of a 1941 event in which Red Army soldiers went straight from the annual Revolution Day parade in Red Square to the front lines as the German forces were encroaching on Moscow.

I hope Cobrastickers does a new OG sticker set with this logo...I really dislike both the style of the logo (a copy of the Joe logo) and the fake Russian lettering on their current sets.
