      2033, yes.

      2034 felt disjointed to a point I wasn’t even sure it was written by the same person. Gave up reading eventually, about 1/3 in.

    The brain drain and pointless bloody war will continue until morale improves.

        I wonder what the world will do if that happens again. UN peacekeepers to oversee elections?

        Whatever form Russia takes next should not have a seat on the security council.

          UN peace keepers are only gonna be an option if they don’t do “Fall of the Union 2: putins boogaloo” and go full civil war

    Glad he’s okay and not in Russia anymore. Makes playing his games a lot more enjoyable.

    He’s a great storyteller

      Very true. And if you stop and think about it, 2033’s only 10 years away. Maybe Metro.co.uk could post a followup to this story then. Just for that “Yo dawg, I herd u like 2033” meme potential.
