This seems an odd question. Then again, this board is full of odd questions. So, why shouldn't I ask one?
I've kept an eye out for a print of this photo for some time. I've never seen it. Even when Evgeny Khaldei enjoyed some popularity in the US, it was nowhere to be found. Any ideas would be welcomed.
In case you were wondering and didn't know, this is a photo he shot of Marshal Zhukov in Red Square at the ceremony marking the end of WWII. The story I've heard is that Stalin wanted to ride a white stallion across the square. When he was repeatedly thrown, an actual patriot and old cavalryman, Zhukov took his place.
