"This is Moscow, do you hear me? ST，Petersburg? Vladivostok? Voronezh? Novosibirsk? Do you hear me? This is Moscow! We're alive! I don't know if you heard us before... we couldn't hear you. We thought we were the only ones left. We thought... there wasn't anyone else. Nobody and nothing, do you understand? How could you understand? You've been chattering to each other all this time... while we... oh lord, thank god that you're alive! That you're there. Out there... Singing songs. How are you out there? We've been here all these years. Underground. We were afraid even to stick our head out. We thought there was nowhere to go, can you believe that? We had no radio. There were no signals. Some bastard here set up jammers... in Moscow. In Balashikha. And they hid you from us. It was as if it was as if we were deaf. And blind. We sat here for twenty years... I've been here for twenty years, and im only twenty six... sitting here, down under the ground. My name's Artyom. Down in the basement, in the Metro. Did you at least try to find us? I tried to find you... we tried. We thought the whole world had been burnt up, the whole planet... That there ws nowhere to go, to crawl out to... But we still searched, we hoped. How are you... you have dances there... I want to come and see you so much. Can you breathe out there without gasmask? What's your air like? We don't know anything about you. We've spent twenty years here alone. I don't even know why. What for. Why did we sit here in the darkness? Surrounded by concrete? We'll find out who did this to us. We'll smash their fucking jammers. We'll be together again. This is Moscow. We'll be with you, with the whole world. We're alive, do you understand? Everyone's alive, and so are we! Maybe you have relatives here. Forty thousand people survived here. How many of you are there? We'll be a country. We'll live on the surface, like before. Like human beings. I ... There was so much i wanted to say to you. I rehearsed what i was going to say a hundred times in my mind. And now i forgotten it all. I hope you can hear me, at least. I'll speak here for as long as i can. Then they'll probabily switch me off. The people who put up the jammers. Who cut us off from you. they'll come back. We'll try to hold out here for a while. But there are only two of us, and lots of them... The Reds. just don't think that you're imagining this. Or that this is all a joke. I'm real. my name is Artyom. If they kill me, others in Moscow will hear and they'll lead the rest of them out. are you there, Moscow? Hansa? Polis? Everyone who hasnt forgotten yet ... Who else is listening? I'm not the only one. we've been tricked. we've all been tricked. We could have left our shelter a long time ago. and gone wherever we wanted. driving or walking. Anywhere at all. even as far as Paris. Or Ekaterianburg. The Reds hid everything from us. What for? So there wouldn't be any hope? I don't know what for. I can't understand it. We can just ... we can just live now. All up on the surface-and live. Like before. Like human beings. The way people are suppose to live. Live! Do you hear me? There: I haven't gone insane. They're all there; they exist-all of Russia, and Europe, and America ... They're al real! Listen for yourselves! And now we exist, too!" -Artyom
@@Creed12able1 Not really. I don´t want to spoil too much, but Artyom is there in a jammer base similar to the in-game one. However, the book overall is not very similar to the game.
I like to think that a random guy in the Gulf of Finland on some small island is going through radio frequences out of boredom and then he hears this and is all excited that their capital is still alive or maybe being all confused because he didn´t hear that this is Moscow
