A Newsweek item describes a hermit saga in Siberia, not an unfamiliar theme. The item title tells the tale: “Hermit Hides in The Woods For 24 Years, Fleeing Murder He Didn’t Commit.” The article summarizes: “Believing he had killed his wife and daughter in a drunken rage, Nikolai Gromov fled to the dangerous Siberian taiga, avoided wolves, bears and even tigers. But when he finally returned to civilization 24 years later, Gromov, now 72, learned the murder never occurred.”
