Indeed, when the athletes head home, they will leave behind three new hospitals, six recreation centers, 19 new cultural centers, 800 kilometers of new power cables, 4,000 freshly built apartments and a ring road, which will relieve traffic in the city center. In the run-up to the games, there were 206 construction projects; fully 176 of them were not directly associated with the Olympics. But how high is the price that Sochi will have to pay for the turbo expansion? Stories of unauthorized garbage dumps, shifting houses and immigrant labor working for starvation wages are well known. The Olympic Games are a tragedy, says Vladimir Kimayev, an angry man with a firm handshake who works for Environmental Watch on North Caucasus.
