Published:

Some places are too interesting to be ignored in a country or a city. Ukraine has several places that attract visitors. If you miss them on your tour to Ukraine, you feel like returning with an incomplete tour. This happens more so when you had read, heard and saw a lot about those places before.

Ukraine is located in Eastern Europe bordering the Black Sea, between Poland and Russia. In recent times Ukraine has emerged as a favorite travel destination on the crossroad between Central and Asian Europe. Ukraine offers multiple sightseeing options in popular cities like Kiev and Lviv. Apart from that Ukraine is also famous for skiing, hiking, fishing, and hunting. Loaded with mountain ranges, Ukraine sees a fair amount of visitors every year. Having said about Ukraine and it’s attractions a bit, what we are going to do is to explore a sightseeing place in Ukraine. This is Mezhyhirya Residence in Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine. This is a unique sightseeing place. Let us see how.

Mezhyhirya Residence, Kiev

The Mezhyhirya Residence is a lavish estate in Kiev. This is the place where the former prime minister and then the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych lived from 2002 to February 2014. Viktor Yanukovych is an interesting character in the recent history of Ukraine. He is a politician who was elected as a president of Ukraine in 2010 but currently, he happens to be in exile in Russia and a wanted man by Ukraine on the charge of high treason. He fled Ukraine on 21st February 2014. Why did he flee? He fled because a violent revolution took place in the month of February on the streets of Kiev that resulted in the ousting of the elected president of that time. He left Ukraine and left his private estate behind which is now a tourist destination in Ukraine. After the ousting of Viktor Yanukovych, common people of Ukraine could see the giant estate or a private residence inside out.
