Darkroom Prints: St. Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow, 1961.

In 1959, American photographer Burt Glinn captured several notable moments of the Cold War, including Fidel Castro's march on Havana and Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the US. Two years later, in 1961, Glinn photographed the USSR — including Moscow’s Red Square. In this image, the silhouette of St. Basil’s Cathedral looms in the background while soldiers and civilians walk the streets. Captured by Glinn on its quadricentennial, the cathedral built by order of Ivan the Terrible, remains the oldest building on the square and one of Russia’s most recognizable.
