The Stalin Subway is a First-Person Shooter video game developed by Orion Games and published by Russia's Buka Entertainment.Post-war Moscow, 1950s - in a setting loosely inspired by the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union, recently-promoted MGB officer Gleb Suvorov is caught in a revolution started by a rogue KGB general on his first day of duty. Uncovering a conspiracy to obtain a secret nuclear weapon and to detonate it in the middle of Moscow, Gleb managed to obtain help from GRU operative Natalia Mihaleva, working with her to prevent the attack and locate his father, a scientist involved in the conspiracy and arrested by rogue KGB agents.True to it's title, most of the game is set in Moscow's subway system (and, according to The Other Wiki, is one of the first games to extensively feature the Moscow Metro, a trait followed later by You Are Empty and Metro 2033) with plenty of stages requiring navigation through underground tunnels, stations, and battling rogue officers on moving trains.A sequel, Red Veil, was released in 2008, this time focusing on Gleb Suvorov's Love Interest from the previous game, Lena. Now a married couple, in the middle of the Russian Revolution, Lena was inevitably stranded in the middle of Moscow and must find a way to rendezvous with Gleb. | |

Crate Expectations | |

Crate Expectations: Shooting up wooden crates and boxes in the first game would yield extra ammo, health, and other pickups though they were removed in Red Veil. | |

Parents in Distress | |
| The Stalin Subway (Video Game) / int_15f42962 | comment |
Parents in Distress: Gleb's father was abducted in the first game's opening credits, right in the middle of a phone call with his son. It's up to Gleb to locate him, which Gleb eventually did - almost dead in a cell filled with captured political prisoners, after a lengthy interrogation process. | |

Abandoned Mine: One of the levels in the first game is set in an abandoned mine shaft, with a particularly difficult area where Gleb needs to jump on planks to cross a chasm in near total-darkness. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent | |
| The Stalin Subway (Video Game) / int_43b154c9 | comment |
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Despite taking place in Russia, the NPC's and many of the characters in the first game have pronounced Brooklyn accents due to the localization studio being in New York. The sequel averts this, but likely because they didn't have money to outsource the dub and just did the voices in-house, which are less professional but do at least sound Russian. | |

Vulnerable Civilians | |
| The Stalin Subway (Video Game) / int_4d51f8e3 | comment |
Vulnerable Civilians: Gleb and Lena often comes across non-combatants in their games, from subway maintenance workers to train passengers and Moscow residents, which could be killed by stray bullets. As they are the heroes who Would Not Shoot a Civilian, gunning down too many innocent folks fails their mission. | |

Hostage Spirit-Link | |
| The Stalin Subway (Video Game) / int_593441fd | comment |
Hostage Spirit-Link: Present in both games: In the original, the player has two squares above their health bar, each square will turn red if the player kills a civilian and if the player kills 3 civilians in one level, they will die. In Red Veil, Lena will instantly game over if she kills any of Oleg's troops which can be an issue considering they look identical to the hostile enemies. | |

The Unreveal: At the end of the first game, Gleb guesses Lena isn't really KGB but she doesn't reply who she really works for, in Red Veil we see Lena meet up with an old ally called Oleg but it's still never stated who she works. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| The Stalin Subway (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Used somewhat in both games: In the original: Enemies with invinciblity are used to block off areas the game doesn't want you going, though at least the objectives usually warn against fighting them. In Red Veil: A similar thing is used with enemies that suddenly do ALOT more damage than normal and without any warning that you're going the "wrong" way, these enemies can still be killed but the areas past them are just dead ends, this can be especially devestating considering the much rarer health (and non-existant outside of multiplayer armor) in Red Veil. | |

Locomotive Level | |
| The Stalin Subway (Video Game) / int_9cd24d8a | comment |
Locomotive Level: As expected in a game whose selling point is featuring the Moscow Metro, the original game have plenty of missions where Gleb travels between stations only to realize the train carriages are loaded with enemy agents. Cue a massive shootout as Gleb moves from the train's back to it's front, and a few areas Gleb might lose a life from falling on the tracks (ditto for any unfortunate mooks). | |

| The Stalin Subway (Video Game) / int_f5c3983a | comment |
Camping a Crapper: You'll often come across mooks in toilets, that you can execute while they're busy with their... business. Red Veil has one notable moment where Lena, after gunning down various enemies, enters a loo where a mook is seated on the toilet seats, who wisely raises his hands to surrender the moment Lena steps in with a gun. (Oddly enough his pants are pulled up - maybe he's slacking off in the toilet instead of taking a dump?) | |
