On Tuesday, Serhiy Klyuyev, a multimillionaire pro-presidential lawmaker, revealed that he had agreed to spend some $18m to buy into a controversial 127 hectare luxury estate within which his long time political boss, President Viktor Yanukovich, resides. It’s a situation that would be a mind-boggling in any normal country.
Located just north of Ukraine’s capital on a reservoir known as the Kiev Sea, the vast and heavily guarded Mezhyhiria compound includes all the amenities dictators in developing countries typically have within their reach. The main building is a purpose built, five-story log dacha, loaded with pompous furniture. There is a golf course and horses, an indoor tennis court and shooting range, swimming pools, fountains and a marina. (For more details and photos, see this blog post.)"
