--- Quote from: Charles on June 23, 2022, 11:50:47 PM ---So when the wolverine saw the tourists from far away, he said to himself: "These Soviet tourist won't go back to their city without a souvenir of me, I gonna spray them to the bones!" He made a long detour to position himself more on the slope, above the tent, and then went on full olympic downhill mode, sliding at high speed straight to the tent. At the last moment he threw is hands forward, all claws out, closed his eyes and screamed "Huraaaaaah!"... That's how in entered the tent, and then, he sprayed the tourist like hell, like the police fires tear gas at hooligans outside football stadiums, he went on anti-riot police mode... That's why the tourists couldn't see him arriving, because it was all premeditated. And the tear gas was frozen on the clothes, the fabric and everything, when later it defrost in the heat of the forensic medicine building, they all recognize the awful scent and the forensic team said: "Ha ! The wolverine, again." (a very common sentence in the Urals). But the rescuers who had a keen sense of smell, they already knew the truth. The sad part of the story being that the young Soviet engineers solved their eye irritation problem with a 2 km walk barefoot in the forest, which was a pretty stupid solution and a deadly one in the end (there was a urban legend at that time in Russia saying that walking barefoot in the snow could calm eye irritation). And it is also the moral of the story, that engineers solutions are not always the best.

The Wolverine does not think like that( although quite funny) . The Wolverine has no plan for it to be written and talked about for many years later . We know little about the Wolverine today let alone back in 1959. If I remember correctly, the entrance to the tent was mostly fully buttoned up. The Wolverine could easily have found its way into the tent in a number of ways, especially with the motive for food. It is easy for an animal to get into a tent by poking it's nose under the lip. It's the unknown for the tourists that may have been the problem. We know skunk spray effects dogs and irritates humans. The spray can cause quite severe symptoms. If you did not know what the limitation of being sprayed was and that more exposure to this chemical might makes things worse or even kill , would you approach the tent? Once the eyes and lungs are irritated, to return to the area of spray would just enhance the pain.
The searchers dogs behaviour was questioned when exiting the helicopter at the dyatlovpass. This is a link to the spray smell. It's nature's own formula and tear gas is an example that followed nature.

--- Quote from: Ziljoe on June 23, 2022, 11:31:39 PM ---Plus there is no evidence of two of them being outside the tent at that moment in time

Yes there is, one of the few things we can understand for sure from the available data. Two hikers had their shoes on and were already outside, Slobodin had pulled on only one valenka and his jacket was hanging at the pole at the door, and the others were barefoot and inside. The one valenka + jacket hanging at the door means Slobodin was at the door preparing to go out (or in). But the two who had their shoes on and wore jackets were deeper inside the tent than Slobodin?
And by the way, some hikers wore Yudin's clothes, Zina wore Doroshenko's mittens and Krivonishenko's jacket, wearing somebody's else clothes happened previously and was not at all impossible.

I am not sure of the exact arrangement of how the entered and exited the tent. There may have been some standard operating procedure where one takes the boots off the other.
If some of the clothes were swapped how do we know slobidins jacket was hanging at the door of the tent , someone else could have been wearing it?.
Plus , if the hikers outside the tent would see a Wolverine , why didn't they see any attackers first to warn the others. Why did the tent get cut?

Because animals are damn anarchists and using them as characters in our stories to express human flaws works well and is as old as humanity. See Aesop's fables, Phaedra's fables, Homer's Batrachomyomachia...

Animals may follow no government but they do follow certain rules amongst themselves. I am a bit lost with describing the Wolverine as a narcissistic animal . It follows it's nose for food and that's as exciting as it gets. There is no more story to the Wolverine theory other than wondering into the tent, getting stuck , spray and move on.
It leaves 9 tourists outside their tent with watery eyes and uncomfortable smells wondering what just happened.
