Every other day you read of the US installing the nuclear buffer in the Czech Republic. And while you’re over there [the US] you think that’s a legitimate way of guarding your future. As you’re over here you think that they’re surrounding you with a nuclear barrier, to contain you. I understand why post- apocalyptic fiction is greatly well-liked in Russia at the present.
In Metro 2033, the game continually comes at the end of centuries. There were very convincing apocalyptic moods at the start of the 20th century and of the 19th: as such substantial figures alter, we feel our ineffectuality in a extremely pointed style. My god! A thousand years - and if I’m propitious, I will live 80 years, if I don’t smoke. Other than this you can speculate that there is something besides.
