Infatuation
As Richiev said.
And in the context of the Russian Revolution,the love Nadya wants seems like more than a luxury; it seems like a selfish indulgence. Millions have died in the trenches of World War I. Millions more are starving and destitute.The monarchy has been overthrown, the social order has collapsed. And this is all she worries about? It seems to me that for any story set in the Russian Revolution, the revolution is a major 'character', a force majeure that overwhelms and sweeps away individual concerns and plans.
At least that's the impression it makes on my mind. Others not as familiar with the details of the Revolution -- and that's probably almost everyone else in the West as the event recedes in time -- might react differently.

I am not sure if you have a logline problem or a story problem.
A two hour moving about a woman deciding whether or not she should fight for her love doesn't sound compelling. Should I fight, should I not fight, should I fight, should I not fight.
On the other hand your logline may not be conveying the true essence of the story.
A story about the woman fighting for her love would be far more compelling than a movie about woman trying to deciding whether or not to fight.
Hope that helped.
