    на месте того (человека) о ком она думает
    In English it is: that person (who) she is thinking about.

    In Russian we can skip word "person". But in English we can't. So we have to use "that person" or "whom".
    But in English we can skip "who"/"кто", because we already have "person".

    Dmitry can you provide the translation of the expression: "The freedoms/rights of a person shouldn't affect the freedoms/rights of others" or any other example with "togo" in order to understand better this omission of person?
