Re: I need Silver-Ageish Cold War Soviet Villain Names
There was a player in my last campaign whose PC was a former Soviet superhero from the 80s. He came up with the team he used to be in, the Collective -
Crimson Hammer
Red Sickle
Iron Curtain
People's Will - a mentalist
Russian Bear
My Silver Age Soviets included -
Red Lightning
Comrade Bloom - was to plants, what Marvel's Red Ghost was to apes
And from the modern period -
Alkonost (a mythical Russian bird)
The Gymnast
Katyusha (WW2 rocket system)
Sirin (Russian banshee)
Rarog (Slavic hawk/fire dwarf who turns into a whirlwind! Is that a superhero or what?)
Lady Midday (Slavic noonday heat demon)
Vodianik (water sprite)
Bogatyr (Russian knight)
Farkhad the Mason (Uzbekistan legend)
Golden Bowman
Other names I had in my notes but didn't use -
Chessman, Volga, Mink, Tunguska, T-34, Turbine, Domovoi, Mora (dream spirit), Ovinnik (threshing spirit), Zduhac (hero spirit), Tamerlane, Vostok (rocket)

DC had a villain from World War II in Firestorm... Stalnoivolk. Steel Wolf (You got me if ít's an actial translation or a made up word.)
Firestorm also introduced the Russian Teen Heroes "Soyuz." They were:
Firebird - Serafina Arkadin (also referred to as Arkadina) is the team's leader. Serafina is a powerful telepath and a minor telekinetic. She can communicate mentally with others, and place hypnotic suggestions, scramble sensory information, or even alter their memories. She also has demonstrated eidetic memory. Her codename comes the Russian myth of the Firebird.
Morozko - Igor Medviedenko is a cryokinetic, who can mentally create bitter cold by absorbing environmental heat. Named after a Russian ice demon named Morozko.
Perun - Ilya Trepilov Perun is an electrokinetic, who can mentally control electricity, he can draw it into himself and then release it at will, but he is incapable of internally generating electricity. His codename comes from the Russian thunder god Perun.
Rusalka - Mashenka Medviedenko is a hydrokinetic, who can mentally control environmental water or the water present in her own body. It was more difficult for her to manipulate frozen water and snow. A rusalka is a type of water nymph from Slavic folklore.
Vikhor - Feodor Piotrovich Sorin is a gravitakinetic and aerokinetic, who appears to rotate air around his lower body rapidly while reducing his specific gravity. Thus he can create a whirlwind and float in the center of it. His codename comes from a mythical demonic spirit named the dukh-vikhor.[1]

If I overlooked this one and it's already been mentioned, I'm sorry.
Marxman - soviet archer
In my next game, I'm using a retired Marxman as a mentor to the new heroes my player's are going to create.
