🇫🇮 A multi-million-dollar "fishing cottage" built for Russian President Vladimir Putin is standing abandoned and deteriorating outside the Finnish town of Savonlinna, according to reports. Valued at over 3 million euros, the vacation property was financed by a longtime friend of Putin from his student days and features an elevator, wine cellar, underground garage, pool, sauna, billiard room, and eight toilets. Putin visited the property in 2017, but reportedly said he was not interested in fishing in Finland, and the building was never finished.
