“Metro 2033” by Dmitry Glukhovsky is a cult science fiction novel, the most discussed Russian book in recent years. Circulation - half a million, translations into dozens of languages, plus a grandiose computer game! This post-apocalyptic story inspired a galaxy of modern writers, and now they are together creating the Metro Universe 2033, a series of books based on the famous novel. The heroes of these new stories will finally go beyond the Moscow metro. Their adventures on the surface of the Earth, almost destroyed by nuclear war, exceed all expectations. Now the struggle for the survival of humanity will be waged everywhere! It would seem, how do the ruins of post-nuclear Smolensk differ from the ruins of other cities? Stones - they are stones everywhere. But the ancient city has always been distinguished by people who, with the obstinacy of maniacs, over and over again restored their home, raised it from the ashes. People are the main thing in the city. And people always remain people, with their virtues, but also with their vices. They are driven by different feelings, and it is they who fuel actions that lead to not always plausible results. Evil begets evil. There is no recipe for how to measure this.
