Group of six boys and girls standing in a row with one holding a bucket. Identification of children and exact location is not known. 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, it is believed this photograph was taken during that trip, probably in Uzbekistan and perhaps in the city of Samarkand. According to Thayer's diary, "a crowd of children were playing. Surreptitiously I took a picture of them.
