Concerns and controversies at the 2014 Winter Olympics

There were many concerns and controversies at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. There were disputes with Circassians, who demanded the events be cancelled or moved unless Russia apologized for the 19th century Circassian genocide, environmental and economic issues, lack of political stability and governance, and the safety and human rights of LGBT athletes and journalists, in light of Russia's "gay propaganda" laws, which sparked Olympic-focused protests.
