The Amber Room, a lavish chamber originally designed for Prussian royalty and later gifted to Russia, was dismantled by the Nazis during World War II and its whereabouts remain a mystery.

The USSR’s secret Siberian 'democracy'
In the Siberian town of Akademgorodok, residents experienced a unique cultural freedom during the USSR era, making it a significant research hub. Conceived in the late 1950s by mathematician Mikhail Lavrentyev and Premier Nikita Khrushchev, the town thrived in the 1960s with numerous science and technology institutes. However, political conservatism in the late 1960s led to the shutdown of social clubs. Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian government reinvested in the town in the mid-2000s, attracting international tech companies and shifting its research focus to technology innovation.

Strangers at Home
In Europe, the influx of immigrants and the economic crisis have fueled xenophobia and resentment towards minorities such as the Roma and Jews. Politicians are using these groups as scapegoats, leading to a rise in extremist political power and protests by white Europeans. This has caused millions to feel alienated in their own countries. The Strangers at Home initiative captures these sentiments through short films and stories from various European storytellers.
