LUXURY GHOST TOWN IN RUSSIA

The 'oligarch's ghost town': 42-acre estate of mock 19th century houses at the heart of Kiev which have sat EMPTY since they were built because of the economic crash.

 

Vozdvyzhenka was conceived of as a desirable luxury community for Kiev's high society

But the 2008 financial crisis choked demand for upmarket housing in the Ukrainian capital

Built in mock 19th-Century style, it was ironically built over a genuinely historic neighbourhood

Prominent architect slams developers and says their estate will never be fully occupied
