    Metro: Last Light

    It was some scene where the player find a Nazi-esque (I don’t remember the exact faction name) hideout and watches a speech in progress.
    The crowd listening to the speech was chanting “Swaha x3” after every line of the speaker, kinda like “Oorah”.
    He was probably hiding behind walls or inside some duct or sth after having escaped some torture chamber. Don’t remember that very well either.
    Also, it might have been something different but similar sounding. But seemed pretty close, to me.

      Oh okay. Yeah they are just kinda going “hooah.” Svaha is a generic eastern occultist topic brought up every once in a while but has no fascist meaning beyong occultism. Metro Last Light is a Russian setting so the chanting is more muddled through the accent and translation.

        If I remember correctly, it actually sounds like “Su-Aha”, which would be a valid way to break down “Svaha” in Sanskrit.
