The organizing committee of Sochi 2012 has revealed the beginning of a nationwide project to organize Sochi 2014 Live Sites in Russia’s major cities. The sites selected will be traditional celebration areas in Russia’s city centers. Those sites will be completely equipped with big screens, sound, light and a stage for people to watch the Games together, experiencing their atmosphere and celebrating the victories of Russian athletes. Krasnodar and Sochi are among the first cities to join the program and the first sites will be opened in these cities to coincide with the 2012 London Olympic Games. A total of 30 million people are expected to visit Sochi 2014 Live Sites, giving almost every family in Russia the opportunity to feel the part of the Games in Sochi.

The Russian Olympic Committee and the Central Bank have come up with a concept to introduce 
in the Olympic Games in Sochi, which will be held in 2014. The special hundred-ruble note will be released for the coming Sochi Olympic games, reported by the newspaper “Izvestia”.

According to the newspaper, the new bill will be exactly one hundred days before the Olympics, that is, at the end of 2013. With the design of banknotes officials have not decided yet. It is also unknown, and exact copies of issue.

If the newspaper is confirmed, the new release will be the first major modification of a hundred-ruble notes from the time of its introduction, that is, since 1997. Usually, central banks for the Olympics Games host countries produce coins, not bills. Thus, the Organizing Committee of Sochi have already announced that by 2014 10 million minted coins to 25 rubles.

The first country, which released “Olympic notes,” was China who took the Olympic Games in 2008. On these banknotes for the first time in a long time has not been shown, Mao Zedong.
