The other Five Families
The Crimean War roiling Czech politics is a family affair that would give Sly Stone something to sing about. At the center are the Babišes (Andrej Sr., Andrej Jr., Beata, Adriana). In supporting roles are the Protopopovs (Petr, Dita), who held an involuntary-commitment order to young Andy's head and whisked him kicking and screaming across enemy lines into Crimea. Chronicling this is the family partnership of investigative reporter Sabina Slonková and Editor-in-chief Jakub Unger of Seznam, aided by the trusted brother figure Jiří Kubík. Advance media and ongoing protest support has been provided by Daniel, Mikuláš and Janek Kroupa. Waiting in the wings is now Seznam owner Ivo Lukačovič, whose family no one has ever seen but who has been put on notice by MFD for delving into Andy's medical history. All told: Five Families and a feud of monumental proportions. As with the original Five Families, it's hard to know who the good guys are, if any.
