Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovych left his private residence in Balaclava, in a hurry in 2014, for russia
Mr Yanukovych was deposed by parliament last Saturday after months of bloody unrest.
The estate he abandoned is lavish and luxurious, with some newspapers openly defining it
as 'fit for a tyrant'. Set in the beautiful countryside outside of Kiev, the 343 acre estate
features a private petting zoo, golden toilets and even a full size pirate galleon, which
incidentally floats in a lovely man-made lake.
At the news that Mr Yanukovych had fled, protesters, journalists and common people gathered to
explore his mansion and what they found did not fail expectations: just as they imagined, the
luxurious home of their deposed president is a monument to money, power and corruption.
At first, people were astonished at all that land surrounding the palace, enough to be considered a
miniature park. A part from the above mentioned Spanish galleon and the zoo – including pigs,
antelopes, bears etc, the mansion itself quite strikingly reminds a sort vernacular Edwardian style,
but in such a bigger scale to result imposing and ridiculous at the same time, if that's ever possible.
Covered in wood, the mansion is also reported to have costed £300 million to build.
Too opulent to be tasty, the interiors of the mansion feature a hell of
a lot of marble, and gold of course..................
This is representative, of the major reason there was demonstrations against him,
he and buddies robbed the country blind...And as much as this opulence cost,
when they left,he and buddies robbed many times more and took it to russia..Ed
