In the West, they thought: is there a risk Olympiad and money spent
Western journalists are actively discussing the real degree of terrorist threat at the upcoming Olympiad in Sochi. “Sometimes pre -Olympic nervousness seems artificial: it is more like a warning to the attackers and justification of multi -billion dollar expenses for strengthening the police,” the words of The Los Angeles Times, Billy Duir. “But now, three weeks before the opening of the Sochi Olympiad, it should be recognized as a threat of terrorism on terrorism The Olympiad is a regrettable, but inevitable truth of life. "

For this reason, preparations for games were held against the backdrop of fears about the preservation of security and possible terrorist attacks.
