Sochi

Sochi is a seaside resort in southwestern Russia. It would have been the location of the Medvedev vacation home, but a long-ago patriarch (The Patriarch) of the family decided to move it to Odessa. The Patriarch, or Pavlo Medvedev, and many members of his immediate family were born in the city. It is rumored their ancestors were evicted from their home in Samara, Russia, so they were forced to relocate to Sochi. The Patriarch and his family later left Sochi, moving back to Samara, and later, to Moscow and the surrounding farms.
