RUSSIA - Winter Olympics and the Russian People

"What the Winter Olympics tell us about life in Russia (and vice versa)" PBS Newshour 2/21/2014

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  To outsiders, Russia carries a near mythic reputation.  Gregory Feifer, whose mother grew up during communism and lived there himself as a news correspondent, teases out an understanding of Russian character through observations of daily life in his new book, “Russians: The People Behind the Power.”  Feifer joins Jeffrey Brown to discuss how Russian behavior is reflected in the Sochi Olympics.
