Yes - the game and the book are set in russia/in russian however, the studio is ukrainian and the translation is very solid. I want to get my hands on stalker, too but i like to wait for sales.

Can't wait to try out the entire stalker franchise :D

We are everywhere!

Metro is kind of complicated, the original writer, dmitry glukhovsky is russian, and wrote the book in russian set in moscow.

But, 4A games, which is the studio that developed the games, is set in kyiv (and malta, strangely).

PS: 4A games was founded by developers who worked at GSC, who also made stalker. These games are very related!
