Sawed-Off Shotgun on Space Station

I thought this was a
conspiracy site at first so I did a little googling to see if cosmonauts really did
carry shotguns on the Soyuz spacecraft:
Eleven years before that, two cosmonauts overshot their touchdown site by 3000 kilometres and found themselves deep in a forest with hungry wolves. That's when Russian space officials decided to pack a sawed-off shotgun aboard every spacecraft.
Hungry wolves is most likely the code word for capitalist dogs.
