nature's of Sochi is the messenger

what an awesome biscuit waters with
we're gonna show us the most expensive
ski jump in the world I've come to
Russia to see what the 2014 Winter
Olympics in Sochi will look like because
they've already set a record even before
they've started they're gonna be the
most expensive games in history clocking
in at over fifty billion dollars to put
that into context the Winter Games in
Salt Lake City only cost two billion so
this whole event costs about 25 times
more than the Winter Olympics 12 years
ago
corruption watchdogs are saying the
reason for this is that a lot of it is
going into people's pockets and while
some are making big bucks on the
Olympics its ordinary Russians who end
up footing the bill
we're in Moscow outside the cosmos hotel
and like a lot of the crazy futuristic
architecture in this city it was built
for the Olympics but it was built for
the 1980s Olympics which were boycotted
by most of the Western world over the
Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan I
wanted to find out what the legacy of
the 1980 games was to get an idea of
what the 2014 games might leave in their
wake
back in 1980 the communist leadership
was so paranoid a foreigners finding out
that the Soviet Union wasn't a paradise
they took special precautions to clear
the capital of all undesirable elements
itself a cellist idea of vishnnu amira

it turns out this kind of thing still
happens in Russia these drifters outside
the foreign ministry in central Moscow
told me how in 2012 they were told to
leave the capital for the presidential
elections that brought Vladimir Putin

especially in strands in reading so we
see the Olympics are actually going to
be in the South in Sochi but before I
can go there I have to get special
permission from the Foreign Ministry of
the Russian Federation so that's what
I'm going to do now before we can head
out
so this is the road that goes from the
Seacoast up to the mountain area where
part of the competitions are going to be
held and it's actually one of the most
expensive roads in the entire world
this 30-mile stretch cost roughly ten
billion that's like a thousand miles of
the most expensive interstate in America
get you from New York to Louisiana
roughly
we're on a tour with a bunch of
journalists and they've brought us to
the bottom of the mountain we're about
to get on a gondola and ride to the top
where they're going to show us the most
expensive ski jump in the world well I
don't know how much I want to get on the
gondola
that may have been
built by sheer corruption the Olympics
in Russia are a prestige project for
Vladimir Putin because he made a
personal visit to Guatemala when they
were selecting the venue they choose top
story - the best juice part of the
reason they chose Sochi was because he
promised 12 billion dollars which is
more than has ever been spent before but
Russia has actually outdone that figure
the costs have ballooned by about four
times to fifty billion dollars
that shouldn't be too surprising because
in Russia corruption isn't really a side
effect of big spending projects it's the
reason so the Olympics are actually just
a side effect of the corruption at the

compares the cost of setting up the
games here to past events its findings
are that the Russian Olympics cost more
than all the previous winter olympic

magic stone here
so this is what the world's most
expensive ski jump looks like usually
they measure the price of structures
like these in terms of how much it costs
per spectator this seat that I'm in for
one spectator is worth the thirty six
thousand dollars which is fully ten
times more than the average for the ski
jumps that were built over the last 1012
years
it'd probably get bronzed though
realistically the weird thing is the
whole time we've been here the only
people we've seen our workers and cops
it's like there's nobody else here how
much better is this ski jump than the
one you've gotten Canada at Whistler I
don't know if it is or not I I kind of
like the surroundings here but I also
like the surroundings and very Google oh
really because it's six times more
expensive than that one I would put the
money into beer myself
oh yeah let's just eat so you think the
six times more expensive price tag is
pretty justified probably the wrong guy
TAS luckily the two were put forward the
Olympic venue managers who were the
right guys to ask I think we should not
compare to the ski jump scene in Hoover
due to the fact that Vancouver ski jumps
were not equipped with the plastic
covering so definitely here we used the
latest technologies so it's definitely
not anything to do with corruption as
I've read a lot about that in the media
it's that the venue is built on the very
difficult terrain and this is the main
part of underneath the ground there is a
lot it was done in order to stabilize
the jumps and prevent them from sliding
down signal how much did it cost to
build this running
also Rio compost what do you mean cost
yeah
you've never googled it when Putin
announced the games he said it would
only cost 12 billion and now they've
calculated that it's cost over 50
billion which is four times more than
even the Russians predicted and they
must have known ahead of time that it
they would need to build all this new
infrastructure I don't know about costs
so you want to know the exactly course
you can ask a d'Avignon write-off issue
in and show this is like just worse so
there's not a huge problem with
corruption in these Olympics I don't
think so no I'll begin to find huge
problem I mean cooking who can define it
and we can quantify we as people as
people have a little such a percentage
statistics lie yeah you know it's it
just means that statistics is just the
way you present okay any more tricky
questions the uniqueness of this Olympic
Village is the average size of the room
is 40 square meters for two athletes
which is three times more that the
International Lincoln Committee
standards they're really big
the Olympic Village cost over 360,000
dollars per athlete to build which is
about twice as much as other Olympics
that have happened before
whoa a lot of it's really nice in the
sense that there's not architecture and
facilities like this most everywhere
else in Russia but at the same time you
kind of end up feeling like the money
could have been better spent elsewhere
the UK is a much richer country than
Russia and they spent so much less money
on a Summer Olympics back in 2012
because they're going through budgetary
crisis right now but in Russia there's
no problems according to the government
and so they just pulled out all the
stops and there are those who feel that
the Olympic gravy train whizzed by
without making a stop in the city
hosting the games the Olympic Games are
an incredible opportunity for Russia to
present itself on the world stage
capable hosting a world-class event
instead what we've seen in Sochi ahead
of the games is the Russian government's
failure to respect basic human rights as
it prepares to host the world
we've been documenting human rights
concerns looking at how the Russian
government is treating people we've
looked at exploitation of migrant
workers and we've looked at the
treatment of people who've been affected

several thousand families have been
relocated to make way for the Olympic
venues and infrastructure we found that
there was really not a transparent and
fair process for people in getting
compensation a lot of people were
relocated to new homes or received
financial compensation but many of them
reported problems with the homes that
they were moved into they're inadequate
construction and the compensation cash
compensation that most people received
really didn't allow them to buy anything
similar to what they had been moved out
of a lot of them continue to fight in
the courts for their rights
this building is an old Soviet era state
owned farm that's now going bankrupt
it's really close to the Olympic Village
but the residents here are angry because
the government doesn't want to register
them as residents because if they did
when this is torn down and replaced by a
five-star hotel they would have to
provide them with proper apartments to
live in Wednesday's room simcha vehicle

but Celia stupid the Olympic officials
in Russia say that the reason the
Olympics are so expensive here is
because they had to build a lot of this
infrastructure from scratch and I think
it's great that Russia gets a brand new
ski resort and all these roads that look
like they could be in Switzerland but
when you realize that 30 billion dollars
of the 50 billion dollar price tag for
these Olympics were spent on corruption
you think about all the row
schools and hospitals and whatever else
could have been built with all of the
money that was dumped here
but the really sad thing is that even if
the money had been spent elsewhere in
Russia
it would have been squandered just as
thoroughly - might as well stop worrying
sit back relax and let the games begin
