Noting that the conditions in Sochi before Olympic preparations were ""shameful,"" Medvedev said that Black Sea resort has been changed beyond recognition.
If it was not for the Olympics, Sochi would not have a new railroad; unless the 2012 APEC summit was held in Vladivostok, that city in the Far East would remain without sewage, said the prime minister.
