Pride City (An organization from the book universe "Metro 2033")

Pride City is a small isolated group in the Metro 2033 universe that existed in the surface territory of the Moscow Region. The faction appears exclusively in Andrey Grebenshchikov’s novel Metro 2033: Sisters of Sorrow. It is a community built on the principles of radical homosexuality.

The organization was formed after 2013 (after the nuclear war). The members of the community settled in a two-story supermarket building on a hill near the Moscow Region village of Donino.

Society and Daily Life

Almost nothing is known about the internal structure of this community, except for a few details.

  • Encounter with outsiders: The hosts persistently offer any arriving traveler a “free democratic choice.” A tray is brought out with a jar of Vaseline (a symbol of entering into sexual relations with members of the community) and a small bottle of poison (death).

  • Manner of speech: Representatives of the faction behave in an exaggeratedly mannered way and speak in falsetto. However, at the slightest disobedience, they instantly resort to using weapons.

Appearance and Armament

The inhabitants of the faction have a hypertrophied, provocative appearance:

  • Clothing: They wear shiny shorts, tights, high-platform shoes, vests with beads worn over bare skin, and decorative feathers inserted into elements of their clothing.
  • Makeup: They actively use women’s cosmetics, painting their eyes with mascara and blue glitter eyeshadow.
  • Security: The fighters and sentries are clad in tight black leather. Despite their caricatured appearance, the faction is well armed with melee weapons and rifles, and maintains a stationary machine-gun position on the roof near the flagpole.

Role in the Plot

In February 2033, the novel’s main characters were passing by a shopping center. Deciding to inspect the building, they entered and encountered a delegation of five people led by an unnamed, heavily made-up leader.

After receiving the traditional ultimatum (“lubricant or poison”), the characters responded with a sharp refusal and opened fire. In the short and bloody battle in the lobby, the heroes completely eliminated the entire delegation from Pride City and their guards. When the characters tried to escape, a machine gunner on the roof opened fire on them, but the protagonists managed to get away.

    Children may say that their dog ate their homework- but John Steinbeck left his manuscript 'Of Mice and Men' and went out for the evening. The dog named Toby soon shredded most of the manuscript of which there was not another copy. This left Steinbeck writing to his editor to explain the problem. Fragments of the original copy went up for auction three years ago. theguardian.com/books/2023/sep

        A game of secrets and lies. ‘Bloody Orkney’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland, mainly in Orkney, during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

        This modern image shows the main street running through Stromness in Orkney. It has not changed greatly since the book’s central characters were here in late 1942.

        This modern image shows a view along the main street running through Stromness in Orkney. It is narrow and curves to the right as it disappears out of sight. There are grey or brown harled two or three storey buildings along both sides of the street and the road surface is paved and cobbled. There are no people or cars in the scene, which is in muted sunlight. The front cover of ‘Bloody Orkney’ is shown in the top right corner.

          Hast du schonmal einen deiner Hauptcharaktere sterben lassen oder sonstwie "rausgeschrieben"? Wenn ja: Warum?

          Ja, sogar mehrfach.
          In "O Tannenbaum" war es die logische Konsequenz aus dem Charakter der Protagonistin und in "Der Esel als Pilger" und "Steppenbrand" dramaturgisch unumgänglich.

            20/5: Does your MC enjoy haircuts/hair styling?

            Mrs Ashton is vain - a performer - a spiritualist preacher - and what she wears, how she looks is part of that. She has to pass in polite society. Her hair is dyed darker, which also represents her fear that she is aging. A hostile description of her says 'she is a little too artificial in the face to be wholly respectable' - ie she uses modest makeup. .

            Braddie ties her thinning grey hair in a tight bun.
