At first they called themselves Progressivnaya Politika (Progressive Politics) and tried to go back to the pure principles of the White movement and their Scandinavian roots; the Rus' people.

Sadecky provided a history for Octobriana where she is said to be thousands of years old and the child of a Viking and a Toltec princes, whose original name was Mahari (which means "divine maiden" in Sanskrit).

Consistent features about her include an Amazonian physique (steely muscles, large breasts, shapely buttocks), long blonde hair tied back with a leopard's tail (which Octobriana tore out of the animal by its roots), a live snake coiled around her right wrist, low riding snakeskin pants, and either a white crop top or a black band that barely contains her breasts.

Sadecky portrayed her as a legendary figure who has been sighted throughout history; there are reports from Siberia, Spain in the time of the Spanish Inquisition, Chinese explorer Zhang Qian, and an unpublished book by left wing Moroccan politician Mehdi Ben Barka.

[2][4] Petr Sadecký, while still in Prague, enlisted the help of two Czech artists, Bohumil Konečný and Zdeněk Burian,[5] in creating a comic centering on the character of "Amazona.

When there was no publisher interest after a number of years, Sadecký changed the Amazona strips into a political statement, by adding a red star to the character's forehead, creating an elaborate back story, and renaming her as "Octobriana: the spirit of the October Revolution".

In addition, Burian and Konečný sued Sadecký in a West German court, winning the case but never recovering all their stolen artwork.

As Octobriana is still widely believed to be the product of dissident cells within the U.S.S.R., she is not copyrighted, and has appeared in a variety of artistic incarnations.Appearances in other comics include: The Adventures of Luther Arkwright by Bryan Talbot.
