the Democratic Riviera District of Sochi



Lord High Rollers,

Did note that after the Russian Formula One Grand Prix, My Mate Vlad stayed on in Sochi to have a pow-wow with Angela Merkel.

And why not, Ol' Putes has got a sweet little gaff there, in the Riviera District.
Everything's completely fine:



"Residence Riviera is a white, three-story mansion in the 'new Russian' style, the mish-mash of architectural references favored by a ruling elite untroubled by aesthetics. While there are Art Nouveau flourishes on the facade, the interior is neo-baroque, propped up by decorative columns and accented with gold. Construction on Riviera-6 was completed in 2006."

Just around the corner is a park with a lovey mural of Lenin, and plenty of public pissour's:

"On one tourist map, a pictogram of a roll of toilet paper occupies the approximate location, presumably to symbolize the availability of public toilets."
