At Teatralnaya, Artyom finds the radio operator that Homer mentioned, but Red Line soldiers take the man away before Artyom can speak to him. A Reich officer threatens to kill Homer if Artyom refuses to bomb the passageway leading from neutral Teatralnaya to Okhotny Ryad, which is controlled by the communist Red Line. Artyom, Lyokha, and Homer arrive at Tverskaya, renamed “Darwin” by the neo-Nazi Fourth Reich, and are arrested shortly afterward. The three men eventually reach Tsvetnoy Bulvar, where Artyom gets drunk and blacks out at a local brothel. Lyokha, a dung broker from Rizhskaya, helps them cross the border of Hansa, a capitalist faction controlling the Koltsevaya Line. Artyom and Homer set out towards Teatralnaya. Artyom initially refuses to help Homer, but changes his mind after Homer claims that he met a man at Teatralnaya who made radio contact with Polar Dawns, a city on the Kola Peninsula. Homer, a major character in Metro 2034, arrives at the station, wanting to learn more about Artyom's conflict with the Dark Ones so that he can write a book about it.

Anya considers Artyom's efforts fruitless, and his refusal to have children with her causes their relationship to deteriorate. Claiming to have heard a radio message in Ostankino Tower, Artyom attempts to make contact with other survivors in the world by broadcasting radio messages on the highly irradiated surface, but never receives any response. Two years after Metro 2033, Artyom has left the Spartan Order and now lives at his home station, VDNKh, with his wife Anya. In turn, Metro Exodus is a game loosely based on Metro 2035.

Metro 2035 is partially inspired by the video game Metro: Last Light. 2035 follows Artyom, the protagonist of Metro 2033, as he attempts to make contact with other survivors in the world.

Like previous novels in the series, Metro 2035 is primarily set in the Moscow Metro and the ruins of Moscow itself in the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse. Glukhovsky's third book in the core Metro series, it serves as a sequel to Metro 2033 and Metro 2034. Metro 2035 (Russian: Метро 2035) is a 2015 post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky.
