Luzhniki Olympic Stadium (formerly Central Lenin Stadium) was built in 1956 and was the chief vnue for 1980 Summer Olympics. It is under complete reconstruction. The athletics track is being removed. WITH SOVIET precision images show just how the two mighty stadiums for the 2018 Russian World Cup are polished to perfection with the rest well under the way. Unlike previous farcical infrastructure works for the Brazilian and South African World Cups, pictures show that in Russia the 45, 000 seater Kazan Arena, home to Rubin Kazan, and the Otkrytiye Arena, home to Spartak Moscow, have already been completed. Other images show the Luzhniki Olympic Stadium in Moscow, which is undergoing a complete renovation and has 3, 000 workers on site 24/7 to speed up the construction process. Belgian photographer Brecht De Vleeschauwer (28) from Gent, gained exclusive access after he travelled to Russia with permission from FIFA to photograph the construction.
