Description

Exterior view with Marie Harriman, wife of W. Averell Harriman, seen in the center of the picture with others not identified. This picture was taken while the Harrimans were touring in the Soviet Union and it is thought they were in Uzbekistan at the time. Charles W. Thayer accompanied Harriman as a guide and confidant on the trip which took place May 12 - June 26, 1959. Harriman went as a special foreign correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA). Trip visits included Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Yalta, etc., as well as areas in Siberia and the Urals, and ended with a meeting with Nikita Khrushchev. There is an original negative.
