so to which code were all the bathrooms built?

the codes and norms are actually alright, very strict and clear, it is just
1) people who were planning the buildings hosed up in a rush ("oh no, I misclicked something in AutoCAD but the deadline was a week ago so welp")
2) the organisations approving the constuction design were either bribed up or threatened ("look, Petr Alekseevich, the deadline is yesterday, can we just stamp the poo poo these engineers are pros honestly"), and, finally,
3) on the construction site everyone blindly follows the designs: the Tajikistan workers can't read them, the foreman drunk himself to death and the chief engineer is too busy playing World of Tanks or filling reports, so you have escheresque buildings as the result.

i am a legal counsel in a Russian civil engineering company, not connected to Sochi, sadly, but I'll be sure to hit my buddies in the construction that worked there for some awesome horror stories

Russian construction workers and home improvement crews frequently do a prank that never fails:
if their foreman abuses them too much or refuses to pay the promised salary, they take a raw egg, pierce it with a needle and mortar it in the wall or the ceiling. A week later, when the workers are back at their homelands or in other town on another construction, the egg rots really good and to get it out the owner would need to tear down the whole wall.

Migrants that worked in Sochi were obviously treated like poo poo, and the cossack-loving governor is fond of ordering crackdowns on them, so I am anticipating some egg or bottle surprises.

You know what Russians? Maybe you SHOULD let westerners tell you what to do rather than balk at 'western influence.' Because you're like a drunken child-beating hoarder dad who puts on his least-stained wife-beater shirt when social services comes around and throws a blanket over the pile of flammable junk in the middle of the entryway.

The two decades of authoritarian stockholm syndrome and a long proud tradition of daddy tsar cult gently caress up a country real good.

So how are those superior russian traditional orthodox fag-bashing moral values working out for you russia.

I know it's resulted in marvelous integrity for your construction projects.

the importance of paying attention to bearing structures is vastly overrated by humanhating sodomical judeoscience
we just put a small 5000$ icon into every wall and recommend you to do the same
also keeps out barabashkas, is good

dont hate our god-guided captains of the industry, they deserve all the money in the world for their devotion in restoring former Russian glory

so all the cool stuff that was omitted from history segments, wars and revolutions - that was because of IOC rules that prohibits such depictions in a moneyshot parade
which is hillarious because without the violence all that is left from Russian history is country fairs, lords dancing with ladies, soviet baby boomers dancing swing and some cool constructivism art
Peter the Great sailing... somewhere, not to kick Swedes in the nuts, no
trendy Russian neo-nazi magazine (edited by the gooniest fucklord imaginable) appreciated the lack of victory in WWII, you know, the moment when Russia became a superpower
Medvedev slept through the half of the ceremony lmao
