Re: Sochi
I have to say the Olympics went pretty close to perfect for Russia. No sniff of terrorists, no protests, and the closing ceremony joke about the problem during the opening ceremony was a nice touch and a nice change of pace. And I think the totally unexpected domination by Russia on the medal count more than makes up for the hockey disappointment. If it wasn't for Ukraine, there would be no talking to Putin now.
