Howling murder: Russian grandma kills wolf with axe Gawker has given Maksudova the title of "Most Badass Person in Russia," after her tale of the fight was reported by Sky News. When I raised my arm up like this, the wolf was just holding my hand. Trying to claw my hand. I wanted to open his mouth and put my fist all the way there, all the way to his throat. But I could not open him. So I just left my hand, and the wolf was just clawing into it, pulling on it, pulling away like this. And then I took the axe and hit him on his head," she said.
