(Via Weaselzippers) We’ve heard a lot about how protesters were upset with President Yanukovych’s choice to align with Russia rather than the EU. But there also was a lot of upset with regard to the perceived corruption in the Yanukovych administration.
His residence was not even made public until today. Now it has been occupied by the protesters who want to preserve it as a “Monument Of Corruption”.
Here are some of the pictures from the residence and grounds:

Yanukovych had a thing not only for vintage cars, but apparently for boats too
