The Secret Palace

We visit the Mezhyhirya estate in Ukraine.

The vast estate covers over 340 acres. That’s just shy of the area of Monaco. The glamorous and opulent principality has a lot in common with Mezhyirya. Except Monaco is home to 38,000 people. Mezhyhirya was most recently home to just one family.

This is the story of the former president of Ukraine - Victor Yanukovych, his extravagant lifestyle and the construction of his monument to greed; The Mezhyhirya palace and estate. Now known as the world’s only 'Museum of Corruption'.
