A vast country estate, marble-lined mansions, a private golf course and zoo: the unimaginable luxury of the private residence of departed Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych flung open for all to see.

As parliament voted to oust Yanukovych Saturday and he fled to a pro-Russian bastion in east Ukraine after months of bloody protest again his rule, thousands of Ukrainians wondered awestruck around the breathtaking luxury of his abandoned property some 110 miles from Kiev after it was taken by demonstrators.

"I am in shock," said retired military servicewoman Natalia Rudented, as she looked out over the manicured lawns studded with statues of rabbits and deers.

"In a country with so much poverty how can one person have so much -- he has to be mentally sick.

Went to the site and my anti-virus program went nuts.

Sorry to hear. Been reading it for ages, never had a trouble.

It’s some kind of tribal thing - if the chief is fat and has all kinds of goodies, the tribe is doing well.

That’s what the chief wants them to think, anyway.

I dunno, I've found that after the first half-dozen Rolls Royces they just get sort of boring. You keep them like our boy here and you look like a museum operator and the neighbors complain. You put 'em up on blocks in your front yard like I do and the neighbors complain. Some people.

[rktman]

Yeah, I know. Kinda like having too many Stratocasters in my case. But they never become boring. LOL!

Thanks for the link...what’s amazing is that he managed to “acomplish” all this in just a few years..The guy didn’t wait one moment after he was elected before going over to the dark side..

I lie the ship "Galleon."

That explains it all. The guy is obviously a Bucs fan.

Look at how wealthy most of our politicians become after a few decades in Washington. Seems like I’ve read than Pelosi’s net worth has increased some 1200% since she arrived in DC.

Kind of funny how that works, isn't it?

There’s people in my own town with more gaudy houses than that.

Heck, my trailer park has a scene similar to that pagoda over the pond.

[cripplecreek]

Pelosi’s net wealth increased by 62% in 2010 alone.

My pleasure. So many of ours on the Hill went too the dark side, too. Don’t give a hoot in hell about nothing but lining their pockets all they can as fast as they can.

1st ‘too’= typo. Facepalm.

"He who has the most toys DIES"

That perhaps means we have entered the declining side of the Human Bell curve.
The Loose-Loose side.
It is not a pleasant place to live or operate in.

Don't be too hard on her(it). She is, after all, a devout and practicing Catholic.
