Description
Interior view with W. Averell Harriman seated at a desk in the palace/sanitarium at Yalta taken during his 1959 Russian trip. Dr. Dadoyan is standing behind him. Thayer's account of this scene reads: "We then went to the Director's office where Roosevelt's chair was carefully preserved and where Mr. Harriman made an inscription in the visitors' book." Charles W. Thayer accompanied W. Averell 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. Original negative.
