Crowd Gathering Near Stalin Memorial and Museum

Exterior view with a columned building in view. A group of dignitaries of some sort are standing in front of the building. Location is not given. According to Charles Thayer's curriculum vitae: "In 1955 I made an extended tour of European and Asiatic Russia and wrote a series for the Saturday Evening Post on post-Stalinist Soviet Union." Although not identified, this photograph is believed to have been taken during that trip. The building is probably the Stalin memorial building located in Gori, Georgia, in the Soviet Union, Stalin's birthplace.
