Sounds like the days of "Klara's Journey,"

According to The New York Times, “more than 110,000 people are serving time for what Russia calls “economic crimes,” out of a population of about three million self-employed people and owners of small and medium-size businesses.” Sounds like the days Klara Rasputnis in “Klara’s Journey, A Novel,” (Marion Street Press) traveled across Siberia after the Bolsheviks took power. Already, the Reds were rounding up business people. Only the penalty was death. “Klara’s Journey,”  a story of betrayal, high drama and love.
