Road to Sochi

In January 2014, the New York based writer Vegard Tenold Aase and I spent a week on the road in a Lada Niva. It was a bumpy, crazy ride from Moscow to Sochi. We met many wonderful people along the road. After nearly 2000 kilometers we arrived in Putin´s Olympic city of dreams. It was a stark contrast to the daily life along the highway.  Modern Russia is somewhere in between.
