After Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kyiv with his inner circle on the night of February 21-22, activists and journalists quickly occupied the lavish presidential residence he had abandoned. Investigators have been combing through the mansion in search of evidence of government corruption, and the residence was closed to the public on March 10. RFE/RL correspondent Natalie Sedletska filed these photos from the inside of Yanukovych's residence. (9 PHOTOS)
