| Abstract |
Based on Foucault's 'Of other places' the chapter discusses the changing spatialand symbolic relations of Soviet cities and he~lth resorts. The study focuses on Sochi: This Black Sea resort, of little importance before the revolution, became the preferred object of Stalinist development plans in the 1930s. In the following two decades Sochi was turned into the showcase spa of the Soviet Union. Architecture and town planning mirrored the 1935 Moscow development plan before a 'profanation' set in with the democratisation of tourism and travel under Khrushchev.
