Volograd is further from Sochi than Paris is from Berlin by about 100km. If the Olympics were being held in Berlin and there were bombings in Paris, no one would worry about security in Berlin. But since this is all the same country, folks are understandably concerned. Russia will get over being embarrassed with all the snafus and poor facilities. But this thing with terrorists is personal to Putin. If the Chechan nutcases pull off a strike under his nose, he'll never live it down. And there will be hell to pay.
