In this photo taken Monday, Feb. 10, 2014, 74-year-old Sochi native Dina Kobolenko waits for tourists in her kiosk selling maps, books and postcards outside the central train station in Sochi, Russia. Vladimir Putin isn’t the only one who has a lot riding on the success of the Sochi Olympics. Local businesses and residents have a lot to gain if these Olympics fulfill Putin’s pledge to turn Sochi and its environs from a summer playground for well-off Russians into a year-round international resort for everyone. But that’s a big “if.” But for all the money spent on Olympic infrastructure, Kobolenko said, “This was a village, is a village and will remain a village," not Russia’s answer to Las Vegas or Dubai.
