On Dnieper Banks, Did Yanukovych, A Stately Pleasure Dome Decree

The palace constructed by Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

Dude's salary up till 2009 was $24,000 a year. Helps to know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy…

Oh, how interesting is this?

Another peculiarity of the president is his fear of being poisoned. Because of this, he has had greenhouses built in his compound, designed to mimic twenty climatic zones. The idea is that anything Yanukovych wants to eat can be brought to his table directly from his own farm.

Guilty conscience, perhaps? 


UPDATE: Pictures of the mansion Yanukovych built with his looted millions. More here. And here.

More great ones here.

After former dictator Viktor Yanukovych fled the country, Ukrainians politely stay on the sidewalk as they inspect his looted mansion.

Hooligans, the Russians call them, hooligans! As the Ukrainians, err, keep on the pathway and avoid walking on the grass…

Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou Vows To Clamp Down On Corruption

Perhaps one of these days he'll demonstrate all that sincerity of his by having a good talking to that premier he appointed.  You know, the guy who vacations with double-murdering Chinese mafiosos.
