How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A late chapter of Last Light takes Artyom across the ruined, snowbound surface of Red Square beside the Kremlin walls.
The real place
Red Square, with the Kremlin, St Basil's Cathedral and Lenin's Mausoleum, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990.
Visiting
The square is free to enter but sometimes closes for events; Okhotny Ryad and Ploshchad Revolyutsii stations are a short walk away. Many Western governments currently advise against all travel to Russia, so check official advice first.
