   Interested in Federation Island as one of the Sochi Olympic venues.

   My question:

   How many islands belonging to the Kuril’skiye Os near the Kamchatka Peninsula are designed on this Russia-shaped map-land off Sochi?
   Please name each of the islands.

   Thanks.

   I’ve been watching the progress of this colosal project for the past year. They say that the project will start early in 2009.
   Now you may know that another project of smaller size (31.5 ha) is also expected to go on in the autumn of 2009 around one of the points of Federation Island (250 ha) closest to the shore of Sochi. The companies/ builders are LLC Khomar of Rostov-upon-Don which owns a marina in Khosta area, and Toho Global Associates of Japan which has 80 % shares of the former company. The new artificial island is called SAKURA ISLAND (known in Russia as Oriental Cherry) . Khomar and Toho GA now run a subsidiary company by the name of SAKURA ISLAND (RUS), Inc. stationed in Moscow. This news was reported far and wide by Russian media, mostly in Russian, weeks ago. I read in English translations. CEO Vladimir Rudenko had his strong say.

   My inquiry is: When the two projects start sometime next year until around 2013, Both the Federation Island and SAKURA ISLAND groups will have to encounter more or less in and around the construction sites in the Black Sea. Will there be any possibilities between those two projects to seek cooperation or joint work? What do you think?
