A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a Russian movie called "Brother". It starred a charismatic young actor by the name of Sergei Bodrov, Jr. The son of a famous Russian filmmaker, he made two "Brother" movies, and he reminded me of Damon in the "Bourne" movies, although they are also very different. It was the well written, charismatic character in both movies, plus the action and style that drives both movies.
Anyway, I was so impressed with Bodrov, I searched for other movies that he touched, and it turns out that the first and last movie that he directed, "The Neski Girl" was the star, at age 13 or so...
There's my connection.
There are so many great Russian movies on YouTube, it makes it worthwhile to learn the language, if for no other reason.
Sorry to drift so far off topic. "Brother", "Brother 2" and "Sisters" == highly recommended.

He could have given her some 'conscience money'. It was obvious she was destitute. He gave Marie $20,000 for a car journey to Paris, so paying an orphan off should have been logical

Destitute? You're kidding me, right? Destitute is a beggar on the street, not someone with an apartment with multiple rooms. He gave her something MUUUUCH better than money, which was truth, knowledge. The money to Marie was way earlier in the story when he probably had more of it and frankly needed to rely on somebody like her more because he hardly knew a thing about himself. Plus, it just kind of worked out for them to help each other out.

True - very good point - never thought of that before.
Not only would it be a nice gesture to write in to the film, Bourne with his CIA training has ways to come up with bundles of ca$h, or could have moola stashed away somewhere in Europe.
