Dubna

Dubna has served as a scientific centre in Moscow Oblast since the mid-20th century. Standing on the Volga near the mouth of the Dubna River and the Ivankovo Reservoir, it grew around major Soviet-era research institutions rather than an old trading core. The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research was founded here in 1956 as an international laboratory, and its work in nuclear physics has given the city worldwide academic importance. Broad riverbanks and planned neighbourhoods still reflect Dubna’s modern origins. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Dubna and Moscow Oblast relate to their surroundings.
