Yeah, with the Russians trying their best to cut communications - I can indeed imagine that and worse.
Actually, come to think of it, canned fish (fish in oil), bread (preferably flat bread), garlic and onions - that is probably what I would get if I wasn't sure about refrigeration. This way you get your food and vitamins - and it won't go bad for a long time.
Actually, I used to work with this guy who was a bio researcher and was into practical experiments. One thing he found is that if you wrap your hand in plastic when handling bread (or just put plastic gloves on) you can get the bread to last for a long time. Reason: you don't implant bacterial culture from your hands on the bread. I have tried it - it seems to work, a loaf of bread can last a week or so.
