"Each story of the owner of the palace is an example of how different people made a great contribution to the development of Ukrainian territories and contributed to the formation of Ukraine's image in Europe and the world. Unfortunately, most of these monuments were destroyed by Russians. The authorities are still claiming our historical and cultural heritage and destroying everything valuable that Ukrainians have.

We have an incredible past and an even cooler future," said producer and project manager Akim Galimov.
