The title “Makarov,” a common Russian name and slang for a firearm, functions as a metaphor for the harshness of existence in a post‑totalitarian world. The protagonist, Makarov, gradually turns into a mechanized, detached figure, losing his humanity as he takes possession of a gun, illustrating the dehumanizing impact of violence.
