Did V escape before or after the St. Mary's virus event?
In the movie V for Vendetta, did V blow up the Larkhill camp and escape before or after the St. Mary's virus event? I'm trying to figure if the Norsefire perfected the virus and the cure during the trials on V or post his escaping? Is there anything that points to this timeline?
Best Answer
In the source material, V escaped from Larkhill five years prior to the events in the book. This happened about a decade or two after the Nuclear War that devastated the rest of the world, and caused panic/riots in England (England was not part of the war, but food and other supplies are limited). In the Film, the St. Mary's Virus at Three Waters takes place of the Nuclear War. This was a false flag event used by the Fascist party, inconsistently called Norsefire, to gain power. They used the "terrorist biological attack" in order to rally support for their fascist political ideas.
The concentration camps in both versions are supposed to have come after these events. Without the nuclear war or St. Mary's virus, there would have been no way the concentration camps would exist, and neither V or lesbian actress Valerie Page would have been imprisoned.

When did V take place?
It is the year 2020. A virus runs wild in the world, most Americans are dead, and Britain is ruled by a fascist dictator who promises security but not freedom. One man stands against him, the man named V, who moves through London like a wraith despite the desperate efforts of the police.What happened to the world in V for Vendetta?
In the intervening years, the world was engulfed in nuclear war. England emerged from the conflict unscathed, but from the overwhelming emotion and fear of it's constituents, the Norsefire party soon came to power. Norsefire represented hardline conservative ideals, and stressed their values through religion.Which year is V for Vendetta set in?
Mary's took place 14 years ago, firmly setting the story from November 4, 2027, to November 5, 2028. However, a few things contradict this. For one, Evey's ID is shown to have expired in December 2024, and the film points out that this is the December before the film takes place.Christmas Story for Kids: Mary and Joseph's Flight To Egypt - Matthew 1 and 2 | SharefaithKids.com
