[ WP ] You are a resident of a remote town with a population of around 1300 located in Russia , and have just been besieged by a large pack of 400 wolves . You must hold out until you can get assistance from the government . [ xpost from /r/todayilearned ]

Not again. 
 
 First it was former convicts from the camps. We poured them vodka and moved them into one of the empty homes. Then the bears came. We poured them vodka too, but the bastards had been huffing jet fuel and only had claws for our trucks and their fumes. 
 
 Once those were gone we thought all we'd need to do was figure out a way to survive the winter without motor vehicles. The roads would thaw, then become passable, and we'd eventually get resupply from the regional capital. But then the howling started. 
 
 I guess the bears got rowdy and developed a taste for meat. This left us as the only warm prey that the wolves could track. And track they did. Every day the howling got closer. When Nikolai disappeared, we thought he'd gotten drunk and passed out in the snow. But little Alyosha was taken the same night we found Nikolai's femur, or what was left of it, out by the vegetable plot. 
 
 Since then, the wolves can smell our fear. They're hunting us during the day too. We've got no bullets left and food was scarce even before the bears took out our means to get more. Now a trip to the vegetable plot is as dangerous as my time in Grozny was. 
 
 We avoid the ground outside now. Communities in our apartment blocks grow even closer and we've strung rope lines to crawl over if we want to visit our neighbors in the buildings nearby. 
 
 I just hope someone got out to tell Moscow of our plight. If we do n't get help soon, we'll have to eat another convict.
