[Also see Part I, Part II, and Part III of this series] Part IV: Special Operation «Olympiad» By Grigory Pasko, journalist Fools and roads, again An obligatory feature of every Russian city is – fools and roads. There just seems to be no way to avoid them. The roads in Sochi are lousy. Of course they’re not as bad as in Samara, for example, but still… They say that in Stalin’s time, the best Soviet architects worked on Sochi’s urban design. If this is true, then I can’t understand: why didn’t they take the road infrastructure into consideration? Essentially, there’s only one road going through the entire city – Kurortny prospekt [Resort Avenue]. And the traffic on it is one perpetual traffic jam. Especially in those places where it is bisected by other roads, like near the hotel «Moskva» or beside the railroad station.
