President Vladimir Putinâs Olympic venture put the workings of contemporary Russia on vivid display. The Sochi Olympics were designed to symbolize Russiaâs 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 Kremlinâs style of governance through mega-projects has had deleterious consequences for the countryâs 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 Putinâs system.
