President Vladimir Putin's Olympic venture put the workings of
contemporary Russia on vivid display. The Sochi Olympics were
designed to symbolize Russia's return to great power status, but
subsequent aggression against Ukraine, large-scale corruption, and
the doping scandal have become the true legacies of the games. The
Kremlin's style of governance through mega-projects has had
deleterious consequences for the country's development. Placing the
Sochi games into the larger context of Olympic history, this book
examines the political, security, business, ethnic, societal, and
international ramifications of Putin's system.
