"Zimniy Storozh" is a wrong translation. "Guard" can be indeed translated as "сторож" (storozh), but "сторож" is a person, not a group, and it is also quite outdated term. Right translation for group is "стража" or "охрана". However, in Russia "охрана" is a name used for person or group employed to protect property, people, money, etc. (i.e. security guard), while "стража" is a more ceremonial term, with nobler and honorable connotation. So, for a team created to protect country, "Зимняя Стража" seems to be a much more fitting name than "Зимняя Охрана".
