As journalists from the resource found out A country, To register at 149 Stolichnoe Shosse, you'll need to shell out at least 20 million hryvnias. However, for most of the local figures, this clearly isn't a problem: former Naftogaz head Volodymyr Sheludchenko and Yuriy Chekalsky (a grain magnate from Zaporizhzhia) are quite wealthy. Despite sharing a common address, they, like the other residents of the VIP village, live in private cottages of at least 600 square meters.
Perhaps the most notable local resident is the head of the State Security Service and former Minister of Defense (Valeriy Heletey), who lives much more modestly than the others. Most of the buildings are hidden behind a six-meter fence with video surveillance and an electric barrier, making it difficult for the average citizen to peer inside.
In the elite zone, there's a 658-square-meter "house" belonging to a member of parliament from the Volya Naroda (People's Will) group ( Serhiy Labazyuk ), and a slightly smaller one belonging to a judge from the Supreme Commercial Court of Ukraine (Iryna Kondratova). The daughter of former Kyiv prosecutor Oleksandr Melnyk and Galina Farinnyk, the wife of the former head of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Vasyl Farinnyk), live nearby.
One of the most interesting figures on the list of those residing in the elite territory is considered to be a certain Andriy Guban: this little-known figure (an assistant to a former member of parliament of the Party of Regions) has been repeatedly spotted on the lists of Yanukovych's "slush fund" (he is mentioned more than 25 times in one document alone), which provides compelling grounds to assume his involvement in the narrow circle of holders of this shadow financial formation.
