Nik Krasno is one of those writers who never thought he would end up authoring a book. He just knew that he had a story that apparently waited for the right moment to break out. For many years and during the working weeks Nik had been involved in law and business in few Eastern European countries, getting to know some of the real oligarchs in person, while on weekends he usually returned to his home in Israel. Witnessing the meteoric rise of a small number of individuals from modest citizens to mighty billionaires, Nik felt compelled to expose to the world the unique phenomenon taking place in this less familiar part of the globe, encompassing a period from Chernobyl disaster, preceding the Big Bang of the USSR, to modern day Ukraine. The storyline, combining imaginary scenes and known corruption and criminal schemes, which Ukrainian godfathers don't hesitate to use to get ahead of the others, develops at the backdrop of real historical events. Fictional characters are designed to reflect real behavior and mentality and provide decent entertainment for the readers. Remember movies based on Bill Gates' and Mark Zuckerberg's biographies describing their path to wealth and glory? Although they were truly amazing, Nik thinks the rise of their Eastern billionaire peers is just a little more thrilling and unorthodox. Not for the faint of heart!
