Part 3/7:
In the wake of government collapse, disparate groups emerged, often comprised of former military members. The Metro features several dominant factions, each vying for control over the scant resources and territories left in the aftermath of war.
The Fourth Reich – Representing an extreme and twisted version of pre-war ideology, this faction is unlikely to have many former Russian soldiers among its ranks. Its influence has diminished significantly, with its last remaining stations submerged.
The Red Line – This faction reimagines Soviet power, gaining followers from those who yearned for a return to past glories. However, it remains a new regime built on opportunism rather than continuity, lacking the legitimacy of the old government.
