I would love to see a Russian Federation sourcebook for Champions; Champions of the North Star or something.  I think a bronze age-themed 1980s Champions campaign setting would be pretty cool too.  It really is its own age of comics and history set apart from the rest.  When it was perfectly fine to be outrageously patriotic and chest beating, and the commies made such good bad guys.

This seems like a good spot to drop this:

 

I will just add: The bear wields a machine gun

Wow that series just gets more confusing each instalment

And it's all based on that Simon Baker show.
