Well, he's better off than Petliura, whose attempt at tackling the other guard before he could straighten up got him a fist to the gut and then another to the back of the head for his pains. Apalkov roars something that's got to be vulgar, grabs the junior officer out of the way, and snaps two meaty fingers at Tsybenko. "Oh, ёб твою мать," swears the ex-cosmonaut before lunging at Petliura's attacker.

Kirk's attacker is grinning and crouching for another swing. Some men strike and the force comes down their arm straight from the shoulder. This one's gearing up for a blow with all the muscles all the way down to the small of his back- and not guarding himself very well as a consequence.
