had a fever just before they were to leave. She went with Victor Komarovsky, a friend of her mother 's. Lara is apparently Victor’s niece but that was not made to be an important factoid. Victor is a powerful and rich figure in Russian society just based on his comments like “do you have any idea how expensive this meal is?” Earlier in the movie, a reformer named Pasha Antipov is passing out fliers to a crowd.

Victor Komarovsky sends a letter to get assistance from the doctor but he sends it to a doctor who was really far away. When the letter arrives, Zhivago just happens

He found security in Ricko and in return Jared defends Ricko at all costs, this shows the encouraging aspects of mateship, where boys can find sense of belonging in their friendships. However, Jared’s idealisation of Ricko blinds him to the realities of his aggressive personality.
