Sochi Location for the 2014 Winter Olympics

The Winter Olympic Games of 2014 will take place in Sochi, Russia. For the first time this country will host winter Olympic games, and if the ex-Soviet Union is taken out of the calculation, this will be the first Olympic games ever in Russia. At least three big challenges face Moscow on the road toward this major international event. One of them is financial; the second has to do with the domestic politics; the last but not the least deals with regional political situation. If all these challenges are satisfied, Russia and the region won't be the same in short period of time.
