SOVIET Flag over the REICHSTAG

Описание: This is a historic World War II photograph known as "Raising a flag over the Reichstag," taken by Yevgeny Khaldei in May 1945. It shows a Soviet soldier raising the flag of the Soviet Union atop the Reichstag building, the seat of the German parliament in Berlin, symbolizing the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. The image has become one of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century, representing the end of the war in Europe.

The photograph was staged after the Reichstag had already been captured; Khaldei had brought the flag from Moscow for this purpose. The image has been subject to some manipulation - for instance, to remove what looked like looting by a Soviet soldier, thus enhancing its symbolic power. Despite its staged aspects, it remains a potent symbol of the Soviet Union's role in defeating Nazi Germany.
