Of course, Viktor Yanukovych didn’t buy all these cars himself. They are the gifts received while he was President.
Eventually, there were so many gifts, that a special building was constructed for them. Now everybody can attend the former residence of Yanukovych in Mezhigorie (about 30 km north of Kyiv) and admire this collection. Photos by horoshiyblog
