Apart from the recent fame the Olympic Winter Games brought along, the Russian city of Со́чи has been famous for its location along the shores of the Black Sea since the early 20th century when it started to develop into a fashionable resort area where the upper class, including the then Soviet and now Russian leaders, enjoys to reside.
