Strugatzky book was a well hidden attack against the totalitarian soviet regime: It displayed a very similar regime of 'Unknown Fathers' that used special electomagnetic waves affecting human brains to make the population follow their command without questioning. Modern Putin regime borrowed heavily from strugatzky's Prisoner of Power, using the Internet total misinformation almost as effective as the brainwashing radio waves in the si fi novel. The game does not touch any of these dark similarities from the past fiction to the reality. Instead it is using the names of some of the main characters and pretend to continue the story after the books somewhat "happy ending". In fact it has become a prophesy: After a collapse of the Unknown Fathers (at the end of the book), instead of a freedom, peace, and prosperity the country gets itself in a total war against its neighbours. Sounds familiar? Yep. Well, maybe in 2007 the authors of the game could not anticipate current unfortunate events. But somehow they managed to create a battle enviroment that shows very familiar pictures of today eastern-european fields of destruction. I just found this game a few days ago and since keep asking myself would I liked it so much if I played it in 2007? Maybe not.
