W. Averell Harriman Touring a State Farm During His 1959 Trip to the Soviet Union

Exterior view where W. Averell Harriman is seen on the left talking with two unidentified farm women standing near farm equipment. He may have been visiting the Viktorov State Farm not far from Rudni (Rudnyy), Kazakhstan. Thayer's typewritten account of the visit states "that the farm was started on the 15th of April in 1955." He also writes, "We visited a field station where young state farmers were repairing their equipment." Charles W. Thayer accompanied W. Averell Harriman as a guide and confidant on the trip which took place May 12 - June 26, 1959.
