The Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2010 in Vancouver will be a significant milestone for the Sochi 2014 programme, since it is in Vancouver that Russia’s Sochi will officially take over and become the focus of the next Winter Games. In accordance with the regulations laid down by the International Olympic Committee, the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee is obliged to present its vision for the Sochi 2014 Games in Canada, as well as showcasing the city and country which, in four years time, will be the focus of attention for millions of people in the rest of the world.

Unprecedented in its scale, the Sochi2014.ru World, Russky Dom project will be the only official location for the Russian delegation in Vancouver. It will introduce guests at the Vancouver 2010 Games to our country in its role as a leading sports power, as well as to the city of Sochi — modern, hospitable and open to the world. Sochi World will become its own gateway to the future in 2014 — in Russia, in the Krasnodar region, in the Olympic location of Sochi itself.

The doors to Sochi World will be open from February 11 — 28 2010 for everyone who wants to become a part of the big Russian celebration at the Vancouver 2010 Games. It will bring together well-known athletes, eager fans, and journalists and officials from around the world.

Sochi2014.ru World, Russky Dom is located in the unique building of the Museum of Science (Science World) on the Gulf coast of Vancouver, in close proximity to the main Olympic venues of the 2010 Games: the BC Place Stadium, which will be the site of the opening and closing ceremonies, the GM Place Stadium (hockey), the Olympic Village and the International Press Center.

Guests of Sochi World will be able to get to know a new, modern Russia, where innovation is balanced with tradition: exhibition halls and informational booths will introduce everyone to the city and country that will host the innovative Sochi 2014 Games.
The cultural program, legendary Russian cuisine, performances by famous Russian and Canadian artists and, of course, the guests themselves will all help to create an unforgettable, truly Russian festive atmosphere.

The press center will host Russia’s official delegation events and meetings with the athletes and guests of the Games. Additionally, access to the fully-equipped work areas will be available to accredited Sochi World media.
