Not so secret: Notorious Soviet spy's passport part of unique MI5 exhibition
Tuesday, 1 April 2025 A passport belonging to one of the Cambridge spies, a 110-year-old lemon used for invisible ink and a letter about the Queen's response to news of a Soviet agent in Buckingham Palace are among MI5 artefacts on display in a "groundbreaking" new exhibition.
Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang to honor Soviet soldiers, marking 80 years since Nazi Germany's defeat. Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his “closest friend” and condemned the rise of “neo-Nazism” in Europe. He accused Ukrainian forces of invading Russia and confirmed that DPRK troops helped defend the Kursk region. Under a 2024 treaty with Russia, Kim warned that North Korea may intervene again militarily if Western-backed assaults continue.

Germany commemorated the 80th Victory Day with ceremonies honoring the defeat of Nazi Germany in WWII. Despite a ban on Soviet-era songs and symbols due to the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, Russian folk songs echoed through Berlin streets in defiance. The ban sparked criticism from Russia, emphasizing the right to honor Red Army soldiers who played a vital role in defeating Nazism and sacrificing millions of lives during the war.
