I believe Jurij doesnt know that most ĺikely anybody else (not being a soldier- less likely to value life) would start filming instead of helping. Staying back while watching others suffer as if they were immune to everythign while theyre´´out´´. Being humble helps others, while not themselves. Meaning of sacrifice is to most people nonexistent nowadays.
