500px provided description: Stepping into the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine in 2002, Viktor Yanukovych received free of charge building #20 with an area 325 m2 (3,500 sq ft) in the residence from the Fund of State Property. On April 1, 2003 Viktor Yanukovych rented the building #20 and 3 ha (7.4 acres) through the mediation of Donetsk Charity Fund "Revival of Ukraine". By the agreement, the rental price was 3.14 hryvnia per month for a period of 49 years for the purpose "implementation of measures for the promotion of national and international programs aimed at improving the socio-economic status".
Stepping out of the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine in 2005, Viktor Yanukovych received another building, #20-a.
The President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych chose it as his residence after he won the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election. Its current ownership is contested. In 2009 Yanukovych claimed to have full ownership. He has since not revealed the price he paid for the property, instead calling it a "very serious price". Serhiy Leshchenko, of Ukrayinska Pravda, has claimed Yanukovych owned more of the estate than he claimed, and that he managed to do so through a complex ownership structure via a network of international holding companies that ultimately comes back to a firm called Tantalit, run by a lawyer close to the Yanukovych family, Pavlo Lytovchenko. The estate's level of luxury and the reconstruction of a road to it has spawned controversy within Ukraine. During the 2014 riots, hundreds of Ukrainians went to visit this luxurious palace and park for free after the President had fled to Russia on 23 February 2014.
