"Greater Sochi" has been included in the list of Russia's achievements
A world-class sports cluster in Sochi has been included in the list of the country’s major achievements on the "Achievements.RF" portal, which was launched in preparation for the International RUSSIA EXPO.
Sochi is a modern sports resort with a high level of service. A large-scale sports and tourist cluster "Greater Sochi" has been created on its territory. It includes many facilities: the Big Ice Palace, the Shayba Ice Arena, the Ice Cube Curling Center, the Iceberg Winter Sports Palace and other buildings.
One of the most ambitious projects was "Rosa Khutor" — a single complex for holding events in skiing disciplines. During the winter season "Rosa Khutor" annually receives more than 900 thousand skiers and snowboarders.
Athletes train on the cluster’s grounds, and all-Russian and international competitions are held here. In many ways, thanks to the sports cluster, Sochi has become the most visited resort in the country over the last 20 years. This year alone, it has already welcomed more than 6 million guests.
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
