    Highlights

    • Excursion to the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.
    • DK Mir.
    • One of the largest monuments to Lenin.
    • Monument "Center of Russian Europe".
    Dubna Science City was a closed city for a long time. Did you know that this is where the synchrophasotron is located?
    And the fact that many famous physicists lived here, like Frederick Joliot-Curie? This city is unique in its unique atmosphere of intellectual creativity. This journey is a return to the past, to the times of the USSR.
