Six months later, Sochi Olympic village is a ghost town
Even before they happen, the Sochi Winter Olympics has already caused controversy in the international press, due to the alleged lack of conditions for athletes, corruption and shoddy construction. Six months later, the controversy continues.The Russian photographer Alexander Belenkiy visited Sochi Olympic Village and found the place abandoned and desolate. According to his description, Sochi is a "ghost town" and a "big waste of land that are abandoned," cita the Inhabitat.The abandonment of Olympic Villages after the Olympic Trials is nothing new-take the case of the Olympic village of the Athens Games in 2004-, since the spaces are not used by sports teams or by the local community. But in Sochi is different, since most of the buildings never even be finished.Second Belenkiy, the degree of incompleteness of the buildings is greater than the degree of abandonment thereof. Many of the buildings did not receive its own pipelines, and the lack of exterior finishes is a minor problem compared to the first.The architecture of most of these buildings try to evoke the magnificence of the great Russian constructions of yore, with big porches, columns and triumphal atriums-which makes the current scenario even more decadent..fancybox-wrap { position: absolute; top:0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; } .fancybox-skin { position: relative; /*margin-top:20px !important;*/ background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; } .fancybox-opened { z-index: 8030; } .fancybox-opened .fancybox-skin { -webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } .fancybox-outer, .fancybox-inner { position: relative; } .fancybox-inner { overflow: hidden; } .fancybox-type-iframe .fancybox-inner { -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; } .fancybox-close{ background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width:25px; height:25px; float:right; margin-top:10px; margin-right:5px; } /*.ngg-gallery-image img{width:565px; height:393px;}*/
