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.
China and Russia will continue promoting the “correct view” of World War II history, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said. He emphasized both nations' sacrifices in defeating fascism and vowed to defend the global order led by the UN. Wang hailed China-Russia ties as “tenacious” and not influenced by external forces. With the 80th anniversary of WWII’s end approaching in 2025, Beijing and Moscow aim to counter historical distortions. Russia has criticized the West’s alleged attempts to rewrite history, particularly regarding the Soviet Union’s role in Nazi Germany’s defeat.
