There is not much to analyze in the second episode. The son defeated the officer with Russian stubbornness and intransigence.

Some revelations about the Russian nation:

    The ratio of absurdity and tragedy is too unbalanced. If it weren't for the high score of the comments, I would not have insisted on watching it. After watching it, the taste is extremely strange. An American film that borrowed a Russian flavor can only be watched with a Russian flavor.

    180 minutes is too short, and the beef is full of noodles. The more I know about Russia, the more I appreciate her beauty, especially the speechless vastness of Siberia. I especially like the part about Масленица. "This amazing country has so many strange stories, everything is serious and unexpected." Love is a disease, and she makes life tremble. Hate any shots of cutting down trees, those dreams were cut off so easily. The farewell at the station is too touching
