She earlier says that her father says cheers as "Nazdarovie" - which is popularly believed to be how Russians say cheers. I interpret the film such that he is her father. Sasha was Axelle's mentor according to an interview I read. The first Hostel's original ending was similar, with Paxton abducting the Dutch businessman's kid instead of killing him (that ending will be restored in the director's cut of the movie being released next month). I added that to the plot, and removed the line at the end about Beth possibly joining Elite Hunting, since it seems more likely that she was teaming up with the bubblegum kids to get revenge on Sasha by killing his daughter. No one else had pointed this out, but it seems heavily implied that Axelle is Sasha's daughter from her "He's old enough to be my father" line and the fact that there's a huge portrait of her on his wall. 26 Reference to other media (Hercules)?.25.2.1 Thoughts to help with paraphrasing.
