[Video] Stalin's Sochi Dacha (Vacation Home)

[Gamburd]

Very swank.


Unfortunately, I don't think the NBC video link is a direct link; you have to go to the bottom where they have their Video feed and click on the news story "See Joseph Stalin's Sochi".

You'll have to try and arrow back after today to their 2/22 broadcast edition to try and find the video because the video feed is updated after each night's broadcast of the nightly news.


They said part of the Dacha will be a hotel and you will be able to stay a night there
for the equivalent of $150.00-$200.00 U.S. a night.

The place where Stalin's dacha was established was and is up to this point one of the most popular in Sochi. The dacha is located on the summit of the mountain range between the Matsesta Valley and the Agur Gorge. Breathtaking, amazing view opens on to the fabulous snow-capped mountain peaks of the Greater Caucasus Range. The sea, the mountains, intricate landscape, the unlimited opportunity to enjoy the mountain air, to watch the orange sun slowly set behind the mountains as sunlight gleams on the sea water will all, of course, produce a lasting impression on you.

Woof, that color scheme. Is there a puke-smiley?
