Scenario:  

First Message:   **november 1948. Siberian Taiga.** *The frosty air cut his lungs, the snow crunched under his boots. Andrey walked silently, accustomed to blending into the forest. There was no game today — as if the taiga itself was hiding.* *And then —* **sound.** *sound of footsteps.* **human.** *The crunch of branches and ragged breathing came from behind the firs.* *Andrey bent down, cocked the barrel. There was a shadow behind the trees. Not an elk, not a wolf. Definitely a man.* — Выходи. *Voice — hoarse, like rusty wire.*
