Description
Exterior view of an unidentified village or town with a mountain visible in the background. Location 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 village may be Gori, birthplace of Joseph Stalin, located in Georgia which at that time was a part of the Soviet Union.
