“Guardians” are borne from the genetic experiments performed by Nazi doctors who were trying to create a super soldier. The German doctors carried on with their experiments to the territories Germany occupied during the war – France, UK, Spain, Poland and USSR. Meanwhile United States intelligence reported that there are definitely traces of superhumans in the States. Dictator Stalin has no choice but to create “Patriot” – a super secret defence and research organization, so secret and dear to him that he has his right hand – Lavrenty Beria – helming it.
Time went on and “Patriot” proved to be non-viable economically hence Beria’s recommendations to shut the whole thing down. But Stalin was not the one who was giving up that easily. However he did not live long enough to see the first results. Spring of 1953 he dies after a long lasting illness. Nikita Khruschev, a simple man of simple ideas, takes charge and it was only natural for him to shut down “Patriot”, which he would’ve done if the news from the Moscow lab wouldn’t have saved the whole program.
