- He wrote “Metro 2033” when he was 17 and posted it online, because he wanted his literature “to spread like a virus”. So it was: over five million free downloads. Then the book and its sequels were published in print, in 37 languages. Afterwards, they became a video game series - authored by Dmitry himself - and a multimedia franchise. Dmitry created an entire “Metro universe”, which has a life of its own. He says games are an integral part of his literary work.
“Metro 2033” books and games tell about a post-apocalyptic universe set within the Moscow metro, where the last survivors hide after a global nuclear holocaust. Dmitry is from Moscow and discovered that the underground of the Russian capita is also the world’s biggest nuclear shelter. The parallels with today’s reality in Ukraine and the risks facing the world are astonishing. «When I saw people in Kyiv or Kharkiv using the metro as a shelter, like the characters in my novels, I was horrified», he says.
Dmitry has protested against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Accused of discrediting the Russian Army due to a post he made on Instagram, he faces up to 15 years in prison after a Moscow District Court ordered his arrest in absentia. He left Russia just in time. He now lives in a secret place in Europe. He has a great story to tell. Listen to him.
I wish him all the luck in the world to get the chance to create a movie/series adaptation.
I love what Metro has become so far, but I hate what's happening with it and its awesome author now.
i read metro online.. started hunting for the books and games... wish this man all the luck
Free Dmitry
what happened? i heard he was sentenced to jail why and for how long
@@xiRePeNTx Because he criticized Putin. He was sentenced to 8 years.
@@forturet4115 broooo WTF 8 years 💀 bruh i hate these dictators
He’s not in Russia rn apparently, so he’s not in jail. I wonder what is going to happen w the movie though that’s supposed to come out in Jan. Hope that still happens
Essentially the Russian Goevernmwnt, mainly Putler, has declared him an enemy of the state and if he is caught in Russia he will go in the same hole as Navalny.
But as far as we know, Dmitry lives safely within NATO member countries where free journalism and freedom of speech thrive, so he’s all good.
That book contains the 3 books?
❤
i love the guy breathing into the mic the entire video
I feel the same way
The fact that it took so long for the Russian government to have a problem with him is fascinating.
The first book is quite anti-nationalistic and anti-religious.
"Viral author" lmao, the guy has published many critically acclaimed novels ffs
Many humans love discrediting creatives who are great & trust me i know as an American born creative who’s basically in the working class trenches while shoddy american creatives get endorsed earning a living off products not so quality.
The struggle is nevertheless worth the fight & this is something that this author understands who has inspired me!
посмотрел в переводе, спасибо за интервью
❤
I love this man
