Behind the Medals



Even though I don’t follow sports and am not especially interested in them, these days it’s almost impossible to talk to someone without mentioning the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. 

However, the medal taking is not the only thing that’s going on… People are getting arrested, for all possible reasons – from being gay and promoting gay rights, to just being members of Pussy Riot. If I remember correctly, one of the goals of having such a manifestation as Olympics was uniting people, in peace. So, it seems like someone got it wrong.

Since there have been different arrests, I chose here to share some of the news stories I’ve come across since Sochi 2014 started. Let’s hope there won’t be any more…
