Stalin's Funeral
“The Hall of Columns, Moscow, March 9, 1953. Tens of thousands of mourners file past Stalin's bier under crystal chandeliers. Foreground shows a soldier crying as he salutes and an old babushka in a black scarf; midground reveals Politburo members with armbands and a young Khrushchev among the honor guard; red bunting and a great portrait of the dictator hang over a slow-moving river of citizens.”
