Inside Ukraine's 'museum of corruption'
When Viktor Yanukovych was ousted as president of Ukraine in 2014, ordinary Ukrainians got to see inside his huge Mezhyhirya estate - just outside of Kyiv.
Within the sprawling grounds are a golf course, a private zoo, a helicopter pad, a yacht pier among other facilities.
Denys Tarakhkotelyk was one of those early visitors, and went on to take charge of the extravagant former presidential home. He tells Gill Kearsley how the house became known as a ‘museum of corruption’.
