Despite being a prison guard, Dmitri does not seem to be entirely loyal to his government as he was willing to help Jim Hopper escape from prison in exchange for money. However, Dmitri does seem to be loyal to his country's people and his family as evident when he confronted Yuri Ismaylov by explaining how Vecna and the monsters from the Upside Down would kill their loved ones if the they did not stop them. In addition, Dmitri does have a positive streak and is willing to take opportunities and risks, showing he is a brave man. He also has a sense of honor as he was impressed with Hopper's determination and kept his promises with him while calling Yuri out for losing his sense of dignity.
