 A beautiful forested estate of graceful waterways, summer houses and exotic gardens.
This is the home of Ukraine's fugitive president, who was dramatically ousted from power after one of the worst periods of violence in the country's history.

The property in Mezhyhirya, an hours drive from Kiev, has a golf course, helicopter pad and is situated in a country where the average salary is less than £300 a month.

Lots more at the link. Despots are the same the world over. The Ukraine story is only starting, since Russia can put the screws to the new government there in any number of ways, and it's still quite possible that the whole thing could spiral into a particularly vicious civil war.
