The Life of Ivan Denisovitch
Ivan Denisovitch was sentenced to 10 years in Siberia for an unprovoked attack. He gets out of jail after he's been breaking rocks or presumably whatever they're doing in the jail making radios at the time involved. St. Petersburg, which already had this, was already kind of a mafia town, the state is gone. The mafia is the only thing left. So he goes into business and he grows this one hot dog stand into it mysteriously,. Gets into a chain of restaurants very quickly in prime locations in the nicest real estate spots in St. Petersburg.
