This secret property somehow escaped public attention for years. We found it, proved that it belongs to Putin, and can now show you what it looks like on the inside.

Originally, the site was home to the Cape Aya health resort. Later, ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych took an interest in it: the old buildings were demolished, relic trees were cut down, and construction began on what was meant to be his private summer residence.

After Putin annexed Crimea in 2014, Yanukovych’s property was confiscated and transferred to state ownership.

What stands there now is a full-fledged palace.

The main residence spans more than 9,000 m², with a separate 5,000 m² guest house, additional buildings for staff, technical facilities, and a newly built helipad. Below, there is a private waterfront, a pier, and an artificial beach with white sand.

According to our estimates, construction cost around 10 billion rubles.

The funding scheme is identical to that of the Gelendzhik palace: the same oligarchs, the same shell companies, and the same bribe to Putin.

On paper, the property is hidden behind a chain of companies. The palace belongs to Bereg LLC, which is linked to Golden Gate, a firm with classified owners. The same lawyers appear here as in the Gelendzhik palace case — Belkin, Ulyanov, and Shakhov.

Interior design documents explicitly state that everything must comply with FSO (Federal Protective Service) requirements. That alone rules out the idea of a “private oligarch’s dacha” — the FSO protects only the president.

The key contractor, Credo Management Company, is the same firm that has worked on many of Putin’s official and unofficial residences, including Valdai, Gelendzhik, and Krasnaya Polyana.
