About 300 people protested over Ukraine's richest man...$16 billionaire Rinat Akhmetov... plans to erect a business center in Kyiv's historic center.
They denounced him for 'spitting on the soul' of the city...and turning the famous cobblestone street into a 'pig sty.'
Akhmetov, 45...a steel, coal titan and football team owner...reportedly cancelled the plans...but only after 3 buildings on the street had already been demolished.
