  Mikhail Bakunin - Lostpedia
Mikhail was observed by the group as he performed some chores outside of the Flame, and except for the horse tied up outside that was saddled with short stirrups (and that only Sayid made note of), it appeared that he was the sole inhabitant of the station.
Mikhail presented himself as the "last surviving member of the DHARMA Initiative", referred to the Others as the "Hostiles", and implied that they had survived a war known as "The Purge", which had ended with the death of all members of the DHARMA Initiative.
Mikhail is the third character in the series to have begged to be killed at gunpoint (the first being Rousseau in "Maternity Leave" and the second being Bea Klugh earlier in the same episode ("Enter 77").

 Comparison of Kiev 88 and Bronica S2A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In the case of the Kiev it is not wise to pay too much for the camera as a low cost camera will not be a budget drain when it needs repair or it is sold for parts and a new body is purchased.
I was quite involved with Kiev cameras in the late 1980s and early 1990s with a partner who was the major supplier of these cameras and their accessories in the US at that time.
Some of the Kiev 88 and earlier Salyut cameras are well made and work well, but the average is poor, owing mostly to badly made backs and under-lubricated two main shutter gears which are the the heart of most of the malfunctions and repair disasters.

Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the first of the two proposed buildings of the Capital Centre in the spring of 1938 apparently delayed construction of the second building originally planned to be built on the site of the demolished Church of St. Michael of the Golden Domes.

Kiev is a relatively safe and friendly city to visit, although usual precautions apply.
At first glance Kiev can appear drab and slightly oppressive, particularly when driving in from the airport through the outskirts of grey and alienating Soviet era apartment blocks, but that is a false impression.
A great deal of old Kiev was destroyed during the bitter fighting of 1941 and therefore much of the city’s architecture dates from the post-war period.

To take a break in Kiev is to savour what it must have been like to be a British tourist on the Continent in the days before air travel and cheap packages - you are as exotic to the city as it is to you.
Kiev has a lesson for towns that have lost ancient monuments: if they don't exist, rebuild them.
The clearest example of Kiev giving the tourist trade (and visiting business people) the finger has always been its indifference to the hotel mafia, which for years prevented the construction of new hotels and the renovation of old ones in order to keep prices high.

 shutterbug: The Kiev Kronicles
This works because Kiev 60s are built on the assumption that Russian Smena film will be used, and this film has a thicker film base and backing paper than other 120 films.
I noticed that the Kiev backs were winding the paper backing unevenly, and the film was coming out of the camera with the paper all bunched up at one end of the spool.
While there are ways to ensure that a Kiev will function as well as it can, namely the services of Kiev USA and their staff of Kiev experts, you really do get what you pay for.

While the Kiev 88 looks a lot like an old Hasselblad, the Ukrainians claim that Hassys and Kievs were copied from a secret Zeiss prototype for military use.
I had heard that the parts inside the Kiev 88s were mostly made from inexpensive steel, and many parts that wear against each other are not polished at all.
The CB is an interesting camera, since it combines the inexpensive Kiev 88 body with the lens mount from the Kiev 60 and a fl cloth shutter assembly.

The exhibit features a panorama of Kiev as a "beautiful happy town," and the different faces of the unusual writer, who was linked with the city for his entire life.
The Aug. 13 program included the very best selection: the classic "Bełż," the theatrical "Hopkele" and the folk "Gdy rebe śpiewa."
