The Sochi Olympics concluded barely a month ago, but according to a local
photographer, the Olympic Village and surrounding hotels are already a
ghost town.

Alexander Valov, who runs "Blog
Sochi,"<http://blogsochi.ru/content/mertvyi-gorod>captured photos that
depict a desolate Sochi, with infrastructure already
breaking down and some construction never completed. Clearly, Russia's
priorities are elsewhere with Sochi complete and crises in Ukraine and
Crimea. And, yes, photos can be taken at certain times of day or from
certain angles to communicate agendas. Even so, these pictures depict a
city that has a long way to go in order to meet gaudy promises of becoming
a world-class tourist destination.
