Maybe not necessarily a Russian city, but some sort of bunker settlement made by the American government in the 50s or 60s in case of an atomic war scenario (like all those people who built nuclear bunkers under their houses because of the fear of an atomic World War 3). Its inhabitants would have lived in the fear that the surface has been poisoned by nuclear radiations and that any stranger coming to the city is a potential threat of infection. However, I believe such story has already been told in books or movies, so it isn't that much original. Still, Cold War could be a nice story setting for another dystopia, but I would appreciate something better than a city underground. I think a volcano would be a good diea, but we already had a taste of something similar with the geothermal power plant of Hephaestus.

Also another point against a Russian city, songs have been an important element in all three games, but I fear that players wouldn't be able to connect to Russian ones
