However, not all objects on its territory are already available for viewing

This Friday, July 19, after nationalization, the former residence of the fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych "Mezhyhirya" resumes its work.

This was reported to the agency "UNIAN" by the spokeswoman for the state institution of the park-attractions Irina Golovatenko.

Since the transfer of real estate to the park-monument is still ongoing, they are still closed for tourists. These also include museums on the territory of Mezhyhirya.

The other day, EcoPolitics reported on completion of the transfer process in the management of the state park-monument "Mezhihirya" of movable property, which was under arrest in the affairs of ex-president Yanukovych after the Revolution of Dignity. The next stage in the organization of full-fledged operation of the park will be the transfer to the management of real estate (buildings) located on the territory.

EcoPolitic also wrote that in May 2024 was planned to be completed nationalization of Mezhihirya park. We also informed that on April 29, the process of transferring assets to state management was to begin in the Mezhyhirya State Monument Park, but blocked by unknown persons entrance to the territory and prevented the members of the interdepartmental commission from starting the process of transferring seized property.
