Journey to Nazi Berlin / Vladimir Raevskiy

Nov 3, 2025 | A journey to a country under a totalitarian regime is surprisingly easy these days - too many of them are open and even welcoming to tourists. But what would you actually see, - and more importantly, notice, - on such a trip? Most travellers come back with ordinary impressions: food, sightseeing, parks, and museums.

But distance lends perspective.

That’s why I decided to travel to Nazi Berlin in 1936, to explore what impressions and observations I might have brought back from that quite remarkable place.
