In Metro 2035, Glukhovsky turns the plot of the first two parts of the trilogy (Metro 2033, Metro 2034) upside down, turning what used to be a romantic young adult survival story into a harsh political manifest. Not necessarily optimistic, you know, but after all, I am not a big specialist in utopias,” said Glukhovsky. “The story of the Kyiv metro would be a whole lot different. Russians still behave like subjects, while Ukrainians are becoming citizens. Ukrainians aren’t afraid to fight for their rights. According to him, Ukraine has chosen freedom and chaos while Russia has opted for order and silent obedience. The writer denies the same story could happen in Kyiv Metro. However, the authorities of many countries have been using the practice of immanent enemy creation to control the nations for ages. Glukhovsky sees his creation as a rude dystopia, full of parallels to the current situation in Russia and the state of minds in the Russian society. “I wanted to show the choice between freedom and order, intelligentsia’s futile efforts to tell common people uncomfortable truths, and people’s willingness to believe in rulers’ primitive but inspiring lies,” said Glukhovsky to the Kyiv Post.

Meantime survivors in other countries slowly recover from the nuclear war.

Together with Homer, a character from the second book (Metro 2034), Artyom discovers the frightening secret deal of Metro Government and law enforcement agency Order. During the final battle with black creatures, Artyom heard the strange radio signal and since then he has been trying to catch the signal again to prove there are survivors besides Moscow metro. It’s been two years since the main protagonist of the trilogy Artyom Chorny saved the inhabitants of Moscow metro from the black mutants (Metro 2033 plot). The first two parts of the trilogy Metro 20 were translated in English, the translation of the third part is expected in summer.
