Max is Russian. When he was the Ukrain was still part of the former soviet union and i have many friends who are from former soviet nations and they respond to russian. They are both hot! I think Dmitry is taller so he wins.

Thats kind of unfair, those who have never seen the hit show So You Think You Can Dance have never heard of Dmitry and that picture doesn't show his good looks off! Every fan of Dancing With The Stars knows Maks, but Dmitry really is hot and the picture just doesnt show it like Maks'.
