Yanukovych murkily privatized the residence in 2007 through a mysterious Ukrainian firm, Tantalit, whose paper trail stretches through Austrian and British front companies to an offshore entity in Lichtenstein. Little is known about Tantalit's director, Pavel Litovchenko, other than that he used to work for Yanukovych's eldest son, Alexander, and then served as the family's lawyer. Lawmaker Sergei Kluyev, whose brother Andrei was Yanukovych's right-hand man, took over the estate in August 2013. Activists now want the state to turn it into the world's first museum of corruption.
