There's a newer sequel of that movie in which Eugene actually marries Galya and they have a son. And also Nadya marries Ippolit (and they have a daughter). But both couples got divorced by the time the action takes place.

Nothing really. There wasn't anything terribly wrong with Ippolit either. That was I think the whole point of the movie: It might be good, but is it really yours?
