"Dubna: Home, Sweet Home" a Dubna Travel Page by aliante1981

I was most pleasantly surprised to find in the improved database of VirtualTourist my actual home town. Before that, I was actually forced to write that my home was Moscow. But it's Dubna.

I know instances of bias can easily be found here, on this page. So beware:))

What DUBNA ACTUALLY IS, BESIDES BEING MY HOME TOWN

Dubna is a town in Moskovskaja oblastý, being, as an important science centre, administratively linked to no other town in the Moskovskaja oblastý, but directly to Moscow. Founded 47 years ago, Dubna even earned itself a place in the Britannica Encyclopedia. Hereýs what I read up:

ýDubna - city, Moscow oblast (province), western Russia. The city lies along the Volga River where it is joined by the Moscow Canal (completed 1937). Dubna is a new city, incorporated in 1956; in 1960 it absorbed the town of Ivankovo on the opposite bank. It is one of several planned ýscience cities,ý its existence depending on the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, which employs scientists from many countries. Dubna University opened in 1994. The city includes much open green area. Pop. (1995 est.) 67,500.ý ý Britannica Encyclopedia, 2003
