There's an underlying theme in both the novels and the games which you come close to touching on in this video many times. Wherever we find remnants of the old world, they are dead or dying. Abandoned vehicles, or command bunkers, or survivors turned feral... every instance of the old world has nothing left to offer the new world that has emerged after the catastrophe. Metro is a franchise about letting go of the past and forging a new future.

Artyom has achieved his quest, and realizes it was all a lie, however, it hasnt been fufilled yet. meaning he doesnt even get to enjoy the fact that he accomplished what he set out to. he killed moscows best hope. thats what happens elsewhere to some extent. in almost every human culture, heros are seen as people who kill the enemy, not those who feed the masses. this is because peaceful cultures usually get beaten in wars. but with the threat of mass extinction, this sort of message tells us "there cant be violent heros anymore. its too dangerous. our very existence is on the line"

The Enclave but Russian.

There’s actually one more faction that possibly can be lead by military or at least local authorities, so called “Civil Protection Staff”. The only mention of this group is a radio transmission on level “Autumn” in Metro Exodus, where speaker in professional form informs survivors to stay away from cities Barnaul,Biysk, Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Novosibirsk and Tomsk due to high radiation levels, then providing information about hazards of different highly radiated places such as countryside roads and railways. Speaker also tells if in case you left your shelter on your own you should immediately arrive to “evacuposts” for a deactivation procedure. The most strange part is with mentioned by speaker cities. Yes, some are actually exposed to mediocre radiation, but in Kemerovo according to Khlebnikov’s map radiation rate is not critical while Tomsk wasn’t effected by war almost at all. It’s hard to tell, but this announcement could be made to avoid people from coming into Tomsk. But why they recommend to search for outposts for deactivation if they’re likely placed in habitable semi safe places like Tomsk? I hope we will get to know more about this organization

It's mentioned in 2035 and Exodus.

They state in Exodus that the Troop survived for a few years, regularly maintaining contact with Metro, but they lost contact at some point, which is believe was when Polis set up the jammers. In the book, the individual says they just lost contact one day, and ASSUMED that they were overrun by Mutants, while in the game it is directly stated that they were. Personally i subscribe to the theory that the book puts forward, that the settlement is still there, and they only think they were overrun because they lost contact, due to the jammers going online

My headcanon while playing the games was that the Metro factions correlated to what kind of people were in a certain section of Moscow. I would say it’s weird an initial group of each kind of radical got in if they were known before the war but then again it was the war and more importantly Russia or being free in the chaos diverting the doomed Russian government to evacuation they could’ve pushed their way in at the last minute and asserted their authority with some guns and this process replicated itself. Also something that gets me: people call the Order “Spartans” when only Miller’s soldiers are “Spartans” because they were based at Sparta station, named for the small number of elite soldiers inhabiting it, the rest of the actual Order living in Polis alongside civilians making Polis the safest (for non-scavengers) and most rounded inhabited station apart from D6 for the months before the attack. In Yamantau it’s explained the construction crew got desperate and and their insanity was from inevitability eating a man with a prion development and it spread rapidly though I’m skeptical it’d spread that fast. Cannibalism is rarely something that would spread like a normal infection from one guy unless most people that got there from the surface somehow developed the infection themselves via the background radiation on the surface explaining why the Metro lacks the same cannibal trend even without sufficient medical capabilities but how the cannibals aren’t suffering from deadly kuru just the Borderlands level insanity makes me extra skeptical.

@SonOfTheDawn515

Probably a cultural thing. Someone at the top of the hierarchy delved into cannibalism and given the all male population plus isolation, plus testosterone, plus cabin fever, plus, etc etc just continued the cannibalism and became part of their identity. There are still human populations that engage in cannibalism out of belief systems rather than food scarcity (SE Asian and South American tribes for instance). Killers who engage in cannibalism (Albert Fish and Bundy as examples) did it as a power thing combined with their mental illnesses. Wouldn't be a stretch for the personalities found at Yamantau in the Metro universe to do it for similar reasons.

Major spoilers from the books, so beware The situation under Moscow isn't delicate as it might seem. As stated in the video, there is a balance, and it's heavily enforced and regulated. The invisible watchers aren't some sort of governing body. They are just the "elite" 1%who stumbled upon a source of power and utilized it. They are self governed monarchs of the Moscow. Whilst most of their time is spent enjoying the luxuries, their main objective is to keep the balance, in order to enjoy their power longer. Polis, Hansa, Reich and line are all connected to the watchers. It is the Rangers who supplied ammo to the red line so that they could suppress the civilian uprising. Every "governor" collectively agreed to isolate Moscow, may it be the radio jammer or the mass graves near them housing countless wanderers from the outside world. The whole system isn't unlike The Matrix. It is just a forced reality upon the people to keep them in line whilst the top 1%clings onto their luxury. In the end, Spartans weren't the holy order to keep the balance in metro. If anything, they were the henchmen to the watchers and their puppets leading the stations. The watchers aren't just observers, they are the players whilst everyone else is just another piece on the board, playing against their enemy, time. And the ending of the books symbolize that really well. There is a rampant disease killing the mushrooms, the main source of nutrients in the tunnels. Whilst the watchers try to find a cure, the situation is only getting worse. Moscow is at the beginning of the end. And against all that, Artyom and Anna "break out of the matrix", and go on to venture the rest of the world, leaving the crumbling society of Moscow behind. Maybe there is a future to Moscow. Maybe there isn't. No one knows, and all they can do is to win a few more grains of sand against the endless sea of time.

I may have found a good reason to why Metro didn't include the Kremlin's psychic ailments. Metro is made by former STALKER developers, and got into some hot water for copying STALKER's Xray Engine as well as other creative concepts (some still seen today). STALKER has (or had) something called Brainscorcher, a series of radio tower-like devices casting psychic energy which takes over the minds of people, turning them into zombies of the zone. I think the Metro developers thought the Kremlin's psychic inhibitors was similar to Brainscorcher.

You know when Artyom and Miller are riding the elevator in D6 after dealing with the Biomass in the Metro 2033 video game, there were some storage facilities that could be seen housing various types of tanks and light armored vehicles, a few that were probably designed for NBC warfare, which implies that Russia's military forces were preparing for a more conventional war rather than a nuclear one right off the bat. And in some ways they actually did wage a conventional war in the Middle East that managed to escalate into a nuclear skirmish that eventually caused NATO, and by extension the USA, to get involved with their own nukes as well.

Well, in books there are a lot of mentions and direct descriptions of various military formations still present both Russian and NATO (The largest foreign commune that is written about, is located in Ulianovsk and is comprised mostly of american marines that were landed at the local airport hours before the missle strikes. It gets destroyed by 2027) , of course most of them have turned from being a full military organisations to just regular settlements or proto-governments (there is one called "Береговое братство" in russian or The brotherhood of shore if I were to translate it, a large organisation that was comprised of several military garrison personel and regular police around Atirau in Kazakhstan, they are really strong and have tonns of resources, if you compare them to other groups it will be the same as comparing a platoon against a brigade, they even managed to establish contact with dealers of high-tech exosuits somewhere in Asia, it's not stated where exactly. Unfortunately the group is wiped out by the end of the book cycle called "Конституция апокалипсиса" by a nuclear bomb fired by the main hero of the books). As for others, there is a commune of former russian 31 guardian-paratrooper brigade in ulianovsk present as of 2035, they were sent to eliminate the before mentioned NATO soldiers sent to capture the airport, but weren't able to because of the nuclear strikes and are now left with 50% of the amount of soldiers before the great war. Also there is a NATO descendent-government in the Minsk Metro, in the beginning they were stationed on a military base in Poland under command of Ray Slavinski but later decided to invade Minsk Metro for some reason (not stated in the books) the stations are completely run by american people, renamed to american names, the soldiers of it's army are mostly locals as there were not that many NATO soldiers invading. Also there is a settlement in Kraliningrad (Russian land near Germany) called " Krasnotorovka" it has a large core of ex-military personel from the local garrison, although most of the civilian population were not connected with military. So, there are actully a lot of the ex-military setttlements ranging from the tank crew mentioned in the video (BtW there is a detailed description of it in the "Право на жизнь" book where the main hero visits it) to several garrisons uniting into a large kind of-government. And that all is just from the 9 books of the "expanded" universe I've read and I'm sure there are more mentiones and descriptions of such communes in other books that take place in other parts of Russia. If you want to ask something about settlements I mentioned feel free to do it.

all that old Soviet stuff was designed to survive in post nuclear conditions not to mention that Russian/soviet stuff is technologically inferior but extremely reliable and easy to fix

I love your content

if you want to do another fallout hypothetical you could probably do "what if sinclair wasn't sabotaged" and it could cover how things might've happened at the Sierra Madre if the construction workers didn't scam him and Big MT didn't release the cloud/they managed to contain and remove the cloud.

I find it interesting, when i hear Hanza* i thinkt of the german Hanse, wich had trading posts on the russian baltic coast. It was a merchant guild with some military capability mostly to defend themselves from pirates but also for some political shenanigans.

The first book explains that's what it's named after

I love video speaking of speculation. And I always feel "sad" when i found out that, for example that nobody in the government survived or in series like the walking dead, that the army was completely wiped out. It is not cool and sad in my opinion

Thanks I love Metro

I haven't read the books and only played the games, but what happened to the spartan rangers after artiem, miller, and the gang fight with the Hansa over the radio jammers/stolen train and end up going cross-country? Did Hansa and polis/rangers go to war?

Most likely they still exist, but with Miller gone they've lost much of their independence and have become a puppet organization to Hanza or the Invisible watchers.

Some of Toronto’s subway double as a shelter too

20:45 In Volga we find some Diary pages about some survivors there, idk how old is the diary on the lore, but its most likely is before the people there go crazy about Technology/Electricity

Loved the video! thanks for making this! great (pardon my French) fucking content!

I'd love a metro game where you continue Sam's story or play in western europe

Holy fuck those bio weapons are fucking terrifying.

I got one month of KZread premium left perfect for one more video

Obviously the government is on Svalbard in the city is Barentsburg with the rest of the navy and airforce that survived the war.

Can you make video about other countries in the Metro universe? Those who werent involved in the war like Vietnam, Laos, Australia, South Africa and the rest of the world

Don't know if this was said however during the end of Metro 2033 video game, sometime during Artyoms visit to the two or three last armorys before heading to the library (though I believe it was after meeting Miller and looking for the documents of D6) You can hear two three soldiers conversing around a map and talking. Sibberia is mentioned and then one solider says something along the lines of "[...] the same place where the government/government officials are situated". There might be some fact there that I got wrong or whatever but just wanted to say, and while it was still fresh in my mind as I just finished the game.

I wonder if the next metro game will focus on the military or government 🤔

What an amazing video game/book universe. I’d like to think just like the enclave, the Russian goverment is out there. I mean the country is massive. But honestly the old world is gone, and it’s probably gone everywhere. Excited to see what Happens next.

All goverment were pretty much wiped out and the few surviving were hiding in unknown regions (at least unknown to artyom and crew)

Dang , a preestablished gang of Warlords might really thrive in that kind of environment .

I've always kinda head conned the Metro and Fallout stories to be kinda in similar parallel worlds. The bit about the Sludge under the Kremlin sound almost exactly like Master. Almost like an early experimental version of the FEV was fired at it in the war but not quite the same FEV from Fallout 1 since in this world the Metro had the Great War early in 2013 instead of later in 2077

The author of the books admitted that the Kremlin monster was inspired by The Master.

From what i understand from the game notes the goverment never even arrivec to yamantau and the workers say they now get why because there was almost no food.

Major political correction on the 4th Reich in regards to the likelihood of former Russian servicement joining up: Neo-Nazi and neo-paganist ideologies have been spreading further and further into both the athletic and armed services spheres of Russia, case in point Wagner, as well as other various paramilitaries or units adopting WW2 German symbology meshed with Russian nationalism

The book is made by a Russian But the game is made by Ukrainians. So if you want to see what else happens there - you're gonna have to read the books, not play the games Russians haven't released a single good game. Atomic Hearts comes to mind, but it's boring, bland and funded by the Russian government, so the game devs were newbies who had all the resources but no idea what to do. It's a shamble of half baked ideas from other games.
