I didn't watch the first have of the movie, but from what I watched yesterday, I sympathize more with the Russian guy that survived because I thought that he was very kind. I thought he was respectful of the girl, Dina, and had a healthy relation with her. He wasn't just interested in like raping her or something and instead he really liked her and had respect for her. He cared about her because he didn't want Dina getting in trouble for helping him escape and I thought that was so sweet and nice. I sympathize with him because I thought it was sad that he was all on his own when he was set free by Abdul, and I also thought it was sad how he was about to leave and then the helicopters arrive to bomb the Chechens. I liked how he was yelling out for the helicopters to not bomb the Chechens because it shows his kindness, that even though the Chechens had him as a prisoner, he doesn't hold a really mean, big grudge against them. So yeah...
