Description
Interior view, believed to have been taken in a room in the Kremlin in Moscow as W. Averell Harriman is preparing to meet formally with Nikita Khrushchev. Mr. Khrushchev is on the left and W. Averell Harriman is in front of him seen walking toward the table. The man in the forefront may be the interpreter, Mr. Oleg Trianovski, and the man in the back may be Yuri Zhukov. Harriman's account of the visit can be found in Life Magazine, July 13, 1959, p. 33-36. 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.
