I believe Solzhenitsyn tells a similar tale, possibly in the GULAG series, of a group of Old Believers who fled Communism and took up residence in one of Russia’s vast wilderness areas. They were discovered by accident when an airplane flew over their location and reported them to the authorities. Sadly, for them, they then became just more victims for the Soviet merciless gristmill.
