And a Winter Olympics was held there. I visited there when I went to the USSR in the late '80s with my grandmother and her peace group. Her town in the Blue Ridge Mountains had a "sister town" there, 2 1/2 hours up in the Caucasus Mountains and this was their initial visit. And going down the mountain we stopped at some sort of retreat for dinner, the only place for miles. I remember being asked who we were by a man sitting outside on a bench wearing a bathrobe. We had nothing to hide so I told him. It wasn't until much later that we learned that this was a KGB retreat. So it makes sense that Putin would have his own retreat in Sochi.

Was this it? I looked it up and it's "Putin's Palace" located on the coast of the Black Sea:

Here's the video Navalny produced. It has English language dubbing. It's a long one, just under 2 hours long.
