A detailed report on the mansion was published by Alexei Navalny, who linked it to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A mansion on the Black Sea coast, often linked to Russian president Vladimir Putin, has been refashioned to include a church equipped with a throne, according to a report by Russian investigative outlet Proekt. It published the videos of "Putin's palace", which were recently renovated. The existence of the mansion was first revealed in 2021 by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who had said that it has a wine cellar, a casino and an ice rink. Russia has not official reacted to the Proekt report.
The palace is sealed off from rest of the Russia by 17,000 acres of forest and a special no-fly zone.
"Many viewers of Navalny's video remembered the entertainment areas - with a pole, a casino, as well as a room with toy cars and a railway," Proekt said in its report, adding that none of these areas exist anymore.
