During the Cold War, the Smolensk Archive held the only collection of Soviet Communist Party documents available to Western scholars, becoming the foundation for generations of scholarship on Soviet history. This seminar returns to the Smolensk Region with fresh eyes and fresh sources, reassessing the experiences of Smolensk residents in the 1930s and 1940s, a period during which the city and region passed from Stalinist rule to Nazi occupation and back. The seminar focuses on individual and collective choice and power under dueling forms of murderous totalitarianism.

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

苏河家园

Travel into Trinity College, Cambridge, with not only beautiful atriums and fountains, but also ancient libraries. The college, built by King Henry VIII of England, has been through the storm and has become one of the largest, most financially powerful and most reputable colleges in Cambridge University. Its deep academic heritage and remarkable historical status are unique and worth a visit.

Visit the &quot;Mathematical Bridge&quot; attraction at Cambridge University. The bridge cleverly connects the college buildings on both sides of the Jianhe River, which connects not only the physical bridge of the college, but also the history and modernity, and is worth a visit.

The Corpus Clock

This photo was taken at night, so the clock is a little unclear. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, I still feel a little nervous. After all, no one can control time.
