@ Yevgeni KHALDEI.
Berlin. Dawn on the 2nd May 1945. A Russian soldier Alexei KOVALYOV hoists the Soviet flag on the roof of the Reichstag building. Photographer Yevgeni KHALDEI had made the flag from a red tablecloth brought from Moscow. Bitter fighting was going on in the basement of the Reichstag, but Khaldei told several soldiers to follow him up to the roof where he took this photo.
