Artyom Popov

Artyom Popov (Russian: Артём Попов) is one of the four main characters in Metro 2034, alongside Nikolai Ivanovich Nikolayev (AKA Homer), Aleksandra Petrovna (AKA Sasha), and Hanter (AKA Hunter).
== Overview ==
Since the book's plot is presented through the contrasting perspectives of various personas, one half of the narrative is focused on the aforementioned trio whereas the other half follows Popov. Artyom is not as primary a character to the story as Homer or Sasha are. In 2034, he is a soldier stationed as part of the garrison at Tulskaya Station.
During the events that transpire at Tulskaya, Popov follows his commander's orders to control the spread of the plague through drastic measures by opening fire on the infected population. What happened next most likely lead to Artyom's death at the scene as the station was eventually flooded, however his exact status is unknown. He has not appeared in any media from the Metro series ever since.
==Trivia==
* Due to Popov having the same first name as Artyom (the protagonist of , , and the game trilogy), the two are often mistakenly thought of as being the same person, especially by new fans of the series who have not read the second instalment in Glukhovsky's post-apocalyptic trilogy.
