S.T.A.L.K.E.R. survival in a dead place

Freedom — Their speech is quite lively, informal, with a touch of humor and a rebellious spirit. In battle, you can hear: "Forward-f-f-f, for Che!", "Oh, coffins will get more expensive!", "Freedom for everyone!", "Freedom cannot be stopped!"
Monolith—speech is highly ritualized and imbued with quasi-religious fanaticism. Members of the group address each other as "Brother," and almost every conversation revolves around the Monolith. In battle, they shout: "Kill the enemies of the Monolith!!", "Fight, defenders of the Monolith!", "Avenge our fallen brothers." Prayerful, solemn formulations are also common: "We thank you, O Monolith, for revealing to us the insidious plans of your enemies."
Bandits have a specific slang. Their speech is full of slang expressions like "chick-brik and get to the dam," "damn it, you caught an olive," and "wali petushar." Their dialogue is often crude, aimed at intimidating or humiliating their interlocutors, and reflects their criminal nature.
Duty is strict, disciplined, and militarized. They talk about protecting the Zone, fulfilling a "mission," and fighting "enemies." The dialogue emphasizes order, hierarchy, and the protection of the "correct" order in the Zone.
The military gives clear, concise orders and reports. They speak a standardized, often bureaucratic language, replete with military acronyms and terms ("control shot," "evacuation," "decontamination"). Their dialogues convey a sense of discipline and subordination.
Scientists—their speech is replete with scientific terminology, specific concepts from physics, biology, and radiology. They discuss anomalies, artifacts, scientific experiments, and possible avenues of exploration of the Zone.
Mercenaries use slang and jargon typical of mercenary groups. Their speech is often rough, pragmatic, and action-oriented. It includes phrases like "lokh," "fraer," "shukher," as well as military or gangster expressions.
Sin—aggressive fanatics who consider themselves "Zone orderlies" and punishers. Their speech reflects this ideology: they use harsh, categorical, and threatening language.

The following mutants are featured in "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Survival in the Deadly Place":

"Blind Dog" - A mutated dog. Its sense of smell has become greatly enhanced, but its sight has disappeared. It often hunts in packs—one individual isn't so scary, but several can quickly tear you to pieces.
Pseudo-dog - Actually descended not from dogs, but from wolves. Distinguished by lightning-fast reflexes and sharp teeth.
Psi-dog - A rare subspecies of pseudo-dog. Its gimmick is its ability to influence consciousness: it creates illusions (phantoms) of itself to confuse its prey.
Flesh - A mutated pig. It looks creepy, but usually tries to avoid stalkers. It only attacks if attacked first.
Wild boar - More ferocious than flesh. Often grazing in groups or together with flesh.
Jerkan - A small rat-like creature that walks on two legs. Found in sewers and basements.
Snork - A creature with extremely strong legs, allowing it to leap incredibly far and high. There's a theory in the game: they may be feral zombies or the result of experiments.
Bloodsucker - A dark-red humanoid. Instead of a lower jaw, it has several long tentacles. There are several subspecies (underground, diurnal, and full-grown), which differ slightly in appearance. It can become invisible.
The Controller is a humanoid with a hypertrophied head. Its main danger is its ability to subjugate the will of others.
Burer - Another humanoid. Created as a result of experiments to develop telekinetic abilities.
Poltergeist - An invisible creature. It doesn't attack directly, but uses gravity to lift nearby objects and hurl them at the stalker. Sometimes, "specializations" are encountered (for example, a fire poltergeist creates flaming traps).
Pseudogiant - A huge teardrop-shaped monster. It uses its "arm-legs" for movement and attacks. It can knock its victims down with a stomp and then finish them off.
Chimera - A quadrupedal creature with two heads (one of which is underdeveloped). Considered one of the most dangerous mutants in the Zone.

The following factions are represented in "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Survival in the Deadly Place":

"Duty" is a paramilitary group whose members see their mission as protecting the world from the threat of the Zone: they fight mutants, try to contain the spread of anomalies, and prevent artifacts from leaking out. In the game, "Duty" is based at Yanov Station.
"Freedom" is the ideological opponent of "Duty." They see the Zone as a space of freedom, oppose state control, and believe that the Zone should not be destroyed, but rather studied and utilized. They also occupy part of Yanov Station.
Free (lone) stalkers—those without a unified structure or leader—act independently. This is the most numerous category of Zone inhabitants: some search for artifacts, some hunt mutants, and some simply try to survive.
Bandits are criminal groups that engage in robberies, racketeering, and raids on other stalkers. They don't pursue ideological goals; their primary objective is profit.
Military units guard the Zone's perimeter, conduct raids, and ensure the safety of scientific teams. They participate in Operation Fairway.
Scientists are research teams studying the Zone's nature, anomalies, artifacts, and mutants. They work in mobile laboratories and require the support of stalkers and military personnel.
The Monolith is a fanatical group that defends the approaches to the Zone's center and guards the Monolith. In Call of Pripyat, many Monolith fighters are disoriented and no longer act as a cohesive force, but they remain extremely dangerous and hostile to all outsiders.
Mercenaries are professionals who carry out orders in the Zone, from escorting to eliminating specific targets. They operate covertly, keep to themselves, and are guided solely by the terms of their contract.
"O-consciousness" is a group of scientists who created the zone and the brain burner, zombified and subjugated the Monolith.
"Sin" - religious fanatics who believe in the divine essence of the Zone and consider it the final atonement of humanity from sins. They are at enmity with everyone.
