How as the russian managed to survive? how does marlow feel about meeting him? what does marlow think of the russian's devotion to kurtz? what do the cannibals think? * your answer?

When he meets the Russian, Marlow has just had his class and confidence shaken by his encounters in the African wilderness. The Russian, who has been going in Africa for a long time, shows up as another acculturated man untainted by the abhorrences that so harmed Kurtz and, to a lesser degree, Marlow. In this way, he goes about as a connection to the "ordinary" world that Marlow has abandoned.
