Octobriana
One of the most interesting friends of Jalila must be Octobriana.
She was allegedly created by Peter Sadecky but there's enough doubt about this to make it unlikely. She's also proposed to be a genuine underground Russian comic book character from the 1960s. This is also extremely unlikely as I have worked in Russia on many occasions and I can confirm first-hand that there is no real comic book history in the country - and certainly Octobriana has too many western traits to gel with even the most radical of Russian students......but of course I can't guarantee this. It's the mystery that makes Octobriana so much fun.

And there's a great online trip here:

But wait - there's more - a 30-minute Finnish film from 2003 - 'Octobriana & the Order of Lenin'. It starred the beautiful Noora Piili. You can find it here:
