So did the Russian Patch Guy come running out of the woods b/c of Hurley's flare gun or was he aware of the plane and the parachute girl?

I think it might be because of both. I think he, at least, saw or heard the helicopter and the flare and went to investigate. It's possible that he has found a way to communicate again and knew she was coming. I don't believe that the house that Locke blew up was the only communication station on the island. So, it's entirely feasible that he knew she was coming. But, I don't think he expected Hurley, Desmond, et. al to be there when he arrived.

Actually I think they are out of communications which is why he was so interested in the phone. I agree that he didn't expect the Losties to be there, you can tell by the look on his face.

Well it seems by the way he came running he was expecting someone else there? Did Mikhail think that someone else (WHO???) set off the flare? Why did he respond?
