Moscow is the capital of Russia, its political, economic, commercial and cultural centre. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The heart of Moscow is Red Square.

On the territory of the Kremlin you can see old cathedrals, the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great, the Tzar-Cannon and the Tzar-Bell. There are more than 80 museums in Moscow. The largest museums are the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the State Tretyakov Gallery. There are a lot of beautiful places, old mansions, cathedrals, churches and monuments in Moscow. It is also famous for its theatres. The best-known of them is the Bolshoi Opera House. Moscow is the seat of the Russian Parliament (the Duma) and the centre of political life of the country.
The town of Dubna, which houses the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, is coeval with the Institute. Its history is closely related to the most important events in the life of JINR. The streets of Dubna are named after well-known physicists: Kurchatov, Joliot-Curie, Veksler, Bogolyubov, Flerov and others. Dubna is a quiet and pleasing town lying 130 km north of Moscow amidst beautiful countryside. It retains primordial cleanness and freshness. Its surroundings offer peaceful rural scenery which, though having no famous monuments, keeps memories of the past.

Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine with a population of about 3 million, is a scenic city situated on the Dnipro River. Ancient Kyivan Rus, which reached its greatest period of ascendancy during the 11th and 12th centuries, was a center of trade routes between the Baltic and Mediterranean seas. The architecture treasures of that period are the Cathedral of St. Sophia with outstanding mosaics and frescoes and the Kyevo-Percherska Lavra, one of the most celebrated monastery, with old catacombs, 11th-century church, and a number of museums. A walk along parks on the Dnipro hills on a calm day may leave very nice impression. In the evenings a large choice of performances is proposed by Kyiv's theaters and Opera House.
