original estimate. $371 million for an amusement park locals call putin world. it's not yet finished. $8.7 billion with at "b" for a rail link project awarded to the state rail company run by a ppu pal. it's a curious mix of grandiosity and bungling. the first time the olympics are being held on the edge of a war zone. pair of creepy toilets thrown in for good measure. in the meantime, preparations continue. >> there was word that russian authorities have hired a pest control firm to exterminate thousands of stray dogs around sochi. >> as local animal rights workers tell "the new york times," many of these strays were pets abandoned by families whose homes were demolished to make way for the olympic venues. these are not the kinds of reports vladimir putin wants to get out because vladimir putin wants everyone to know this is not your father's russia. ♪
