Sochi Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony: If one can look past the politics, it should be quite a show. If... Locals who have had a sneak peek at the Sochi Winter Olympics opening ceremony claim there is a separate section to celebrate Russias industrial revolution during Joseph Stalins era, which cost millions of lives. Although the exact details of the ceremony have been kept under wraps, some likely features are emerging, and it appears Russia will ape the homage to industrial history which underpinned the opening of London 2012. The opening ceremony is being orchestrated by Russias high-profile director at the countrys Channel One Konstantin Ernst and millions of dollars are being splurged on the event. However, despite the glamour and the expense, the industrial section is likely to ignite controversy, given the brutal methods by which Stalin industrialised Russia during the 1930s. Some estimates suggest 20 million Russians died during Stalins regime as a result of the famine precipitated by the dictators economic policies.
