[Also see Part I and Part II of this series] Part III: Special Operation «Olympiad»By Grigory Pasko, journalistThe Olympic Chekists The creation of the state corporation «Olympstroy» was implemented in strict compliance with the standard chekist blueprints. What was the first thing they did? They appointed “their” people to all the key posts, of course. That is, the 2014 Olympic Winter Games began with the allocation of KGB and FSB employees to important posts. And so, Grigory Rapota was put in as Putin’s plenipotentiary representative in the Southern Federal District. It is known that he had worked 30 years in the KGB, where, as the mass media wrote, he was engaged in “contacts with the special services of different countries”. (Essential experience for the Olympic movement, which envisions the struggle for peace and trust in the whole world). In addition to this, Rapota had worked in the State Company for the export and import of arms «Rosvooruzheniye» (not, we have to assume, at counting javelins, bows and arrows, and discuses was he engaged there); was the director-general of the Eurasian Economic Community.
