Mezhyhirya Estate

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:08:37

Kyiv's newest tourist attraction is Mezhyhirya, the estate that once 'belonged' to ex-president and wannabe Ukrainian dictator, Viktor Yanukovych, famously ousted in the Maidan Revolution of 2014. A wander through the opulent mansion and grounds costing millions of dollars to create gives visitors an idea of just how corrupt the Yanukovych regime had become. Mezhyhirya lies 30km north of Kyiv. Take the metro to the terminus at Heroyiv Dnipra from where buses shuttle visitors to the estate.
