(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.

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
