In this photo taken Monday, Feb. 10, 2014, cruise ships sit docked at the seaport as pedestrians stroll along the promenade in central Sochi, Russia.

Local businesses and residents have a lot to gain if these Olympics fulfill Putin’s pledge to turn Sochi and its environs from a summer playground for well-off Russians into a year-round international resort for everyone. But that’s a big “if.” (AP Photo/David Goldman)
