| Summary/Abstract |
THE STATE ARCHIVES of the city of Sevastopol contains documentary photographs pertaining to the city's history. Last year we found, among the negatives belonging to press photographer M.B. Pokatilo, pictures showing Clementine Churchill, the wife of the British prime minister.
The pictures document her visit to Sevastopol on April 24, 1945. Whereas photographs of the Allied leaders Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin at the Yalta Conference have long been well familiar to scholars and the general public, researchers gave her visit to Crimea just a cursory treatment and there, until recently, were no pictures found having to do with the visit.
