Where does the game take place? (Rise of the Tomb Raider)
the game says that somewhere in Siberia, but where is it more accurate? It looks like Altai, what do you think?APOLLO22
Most likely invented, not Siberia, of course, but just a place in Siberia invented.
Judging by the way the main character searches for Kitezh-grad, then probably a messianic city, located, according to legend, in the northern part of the Nizhny Novgorod region, near the village of Vladimir, on the shores of Lake Svetloyar near the Lunda River. According to legend, Prince Yuri Vsevolodovich "landed on the shore at Small Kitezh, which stands on the banks of the Volga, and rebuilt it." Later, the prince crossed the rivers Uzola, Sandu and Kerzhenets and found a beautiful place on the shores of Lake Svetloyara, where he decided to build the city of Big Kitezh. (And so this is a fictional place allegedly Siberia)
There, somewhere at the Soviet base, or near it, there was a sign on the building - KRASNOYARSK.

Yeah, and there in the 70s just like in the 30s. They drove the convicts who were kept in cages. Laughter alone, Pratchett is a notable Russophobe.
It seems like the plot of Siberia. But again, mountains are shown there, but we have a country in the Ural, Caucasus, Altai mountains))) In Siberia, there are no mountains, although I am not a Siberian so I xs))). Again, Lake Svetloyar, where according to legend Kitezh disappeared, is located in the Nizhny Novgorod region. So sit and guess where exactly)))

You have to nurture stereotypes in such turbulent times) And the laundress is quite a mediocre screenwriter, she would have to write scripts for soap operas or advertising tide.

Not quite Krasnoyarsk, it says Krasnoyask (there is no second letter "r"))

Yes, and the prisoners there are very interesting, if you look closely at the card, one of them))
Then it literally says the following:
NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR
NKVD Directorate for the Nikolaev region (Ukraine)
Position: Senior operative authorized.

Yes, they have a problem with Russophobia, the replacement of reality with fiction in all its glory. Convicts in cages and the inscription * inhabitant *, it would be fine just a number, but here they were not stingy ... In general, ardent Russophobes do not even mention the USSR, where sobsno this Siberia was located all, and by the way, not only in the game, but among Americans now there is such a delusion like: Siberia is not in Russia.
I liked the game very much with its graphics and dynamics .... One PLOT !!! As here they write, invented by an "idiot-SSSRphobe" Well, this is what they put on. Especially the hanged soldiers "hanging out" at the prison gates. Against the background of the Order of Victory, there are all sorts of inscriptions ... in each location there are monuments to Lenin. And the atrocities ... the atrocities of the "red" who came and drove out the locals. Well, such that GENERAL.
judging by the documents found in the game, most likely Eastern Siberia. There are just mountains + a lot of allusions to the BAM since the Reds were building a railway (and the years were just 70-80s) if you read the documents. Krasnoyarsk or not far from it. + Mongolian documents. hence close to Central Asia, Mongolia.

Here I read the comments and am amazed ...... How can you compare fantasy with real events and people in life? This is a game, an invention and could invent anything, even to the point that Hitler was a homosexual Negro from the North Caucasus. So (I repeat again) comparing fiction with real life, historical events and people is just idiocy.

Fantasy is the Witcher, the Lord of the Rings, and this game has a real historical basis, albeit modified, but which can encourage people to take an interest in the real story. You yourself need to learn this - to distinguish delirium from reality before writing such

game to play, and they teach history at school, or at worst you can read the literature yourself. The game does not have to be rigidly based on the events on the basis of which it was based. A lot of things are now games, films and in general in other thin. works are based on real events, but at the same time for the atmosphere there was changed and a lot was added that did not coincide with historical events. Generally for an amateur.
Well, the "West" has always liked to create "stories about bad Russians." So it doesn't surprise anyone anymore.
As they say, don't like it, don't play. That's all.
