I had a privilege and luck to travel and visit that part of Russia in late 90s.

People are very nice (never refuse vodka if you are offered :)). But it is really poor place. There are open manhole in the middle of road - the big one, my friend would take out battery from the car bring it up with car keys, ...

So it is not really "semi-hidden agenda" - it just that Sochi is not Moscow.




Late 90s was horrible and difficult time. Russia is not by any means warm, cozy and polished place now, but it changed enormously since 90s.
