However, by 2035, Artryom himself is established in-universe as a jerk, so nobody cares or find it any worse than what he already did for past few years.

One year after the events of ''Metro: Last Light'', Artyom has quit the Rangers, married Anna, and returned to his home station. Life in the Metro has also settled back to normal, with several changes: the Fourth Reich appears to have reformed itself in order to attract more residents, while the Red Line is suffering from a famine after a blight ruins their food supply.
Artyom, however, believes that two years ago, on top of Ostankino Tower, he heard radio transmissions from outside Moscow. Now, he is determined to make contact, and prove that there are others alive outside Moscow.
To do so, however, he must brave the Metro once again, and the new political changes that have reshaped it.
