All of these stories share the same setting – the fictional world in Glukhovsky's original novel, Metro 2033. Although Metro 2033 described only Glukhovsky's vision of a post-apocalyptic Moscow, the books of the extended universe take place in a wide variety of different areas. Among these are: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Leningrad Region, Nizhny Novgorod, Tver Region, Moscow Region, Kola Peninsula, Kiev, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, and the Kaliningrad region. Some of the books in the series are set in other locations outside of Russia, such as: Belarus, Britain, Italy, Poland, and Antarctica.
