The Sochi Winter Games are already the most expensive Olympics on record, and theyre shaping up to be the most watched, as well — not by spectators or television viewers, but by the Russian government.

The Russian secret services are just obsessed by the idea of … total control, says Irina Borogan, an investigative journalist for Moscow-based watchdog Agentura.ru. Last year, Borogan and Agentura editor-in-chief Andrei Soldatov published a series of reports on the surveillance programs that Russia is implementing for the Winter Olympics, which run from February 7th through the 23rd.
