In a scene reminiscent of early '90s Russians viewing the luxury dachas and department stores reserved for Soviet apparatchiks but not the general public, the Ukrainian public is being admitted to the luxurious palace of deposed leader Viktor "Bling" Yanukovich. The estate, which features a private zoo, spa and huge automobile collection, was opened to the Ukrainian public to demonstrate the level of corruption and entitlement attached to the deposed leader.
So while Ukraine suffered through an economic recession, Bling was livin' large at his estate outside of Kiev. We suspect the people of Ukraine, once they've arrested the fugitive Bling, will consign him to far simpler quarters.
