Louis L'amour wrote a similar piece of fiction called Last of the Breed - about a Native American USAF officer raised in the ways of his ancestors by his grandfather who is captured during the Cold War and interred in a Gulag, escapes and heads East through the Tioga following the route of his ancestors to North America. The Soviets look for him heading West to Europe but a Yakut tracker for the Soviet security forces understands what's happening and goes after him against their orders. A good read of a struggle between man, society, and nature.
