After President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kiev, protestors opened up his home to the public. They wanted people to see how the former president lived. Many of them are angry that he lived on such a luxury estate.

The country estate is known as Mezhyhirya. It's about 15 km (10 miles) from Kiev and filled with luxurious buildings, along with things like tennis courts and manicured lawns...

There's even a private zoo, which includes ostriches and deer.

The estate also features a golf course. This visitor found a set of clubs stamped with the president's initials.

The parks are dotted with statues, ponds with fountains, wild ducks, and a pavilion.
