W. Averell Harriman Touring Hydroelectric Plant During 1959 Trip to the Soviet Union
Exterior view with W. Averell Harriman seen on the left wearing a hat. His interpreter is probably the man in the center and a plant worker can be seen on the right. He is believed to be at a hydroelectric plant located near Stalingrad. Thayer indicates in his account of the trip that "the Harriman party visited the Stalingrad hydroelectric plant which is about three quarters of an hour's drive from Stalingrad..." Charles W. Thayer accompanied Harriman as a guide and confidant on the trip which took place May 12 - June 26, 1959.
