(at around 1h 30 mins) During the American and Soviet standoff, the Soviet Captain refers to the man behind him as "zampolit," which is inaccurately translated in the subtitles as "comrade." A Zampolit is a political officer responsible for political education and enforcing Party loyalty (in this case, on a ship), and is capable of countermanding the orders of the officer to which he is attached, if they conflict with Party doctrine. The fact that it's actually the Zampolit that fires the missile to destroy the freighter is a sly bit of irony on the part of the film producers.
