Summary:
"Award-winning author Grand Chief Ron Derrickson tells the story of his personal fight against Ukrainian
political
and economic forces alongside the larger story of the wider struggle for
Ukraine
to end the
corruption
that has plagued the country since the 1990s. Ron Derrickson watched the Russian invasion of
Ukraine
, the country where he had spent much of the past 20 years, with a kind of anguish, knowing the country had been systematically shut out of the EU and left on its own. While doing business there he had entered the rabbit hole of Ukrainian
political
and economic life, a land where gangsters controlled not only the heights of the economy but also the police, the courts, and the national parliament. At stake was his 28 million company stolen by a cast of characters that included a former governor and members of the national parliament. In the end, Derrickson spent a dozen years fighting for justice in the courts, in
political
and diplomatic spheres, and even with automatic weapon-toting mercenaries. Seven Spoons tells not only the story of his personal battles but the much wider struggle of
Ukraine
to find its footing and shake off the gangsterism that has plagued it since the 1990s. In the end, Derrickson searches for signs that after the recent cataclysm, a new
Ukraine
might rise from the ashes."--Publisher.
