The images are startlingly beautiful, given the horrific subject. One, by Galina Sanko, shows the fine boots on a snow-covered German soldier lying alongside the frozen head and shoulders of a fallen comrade. An impressionistic photograph by Georgi Zelma showing a tank churning up swirls of snow in the heart of Stalingrad predates by a year the Robert Capa picture of an American soldier swimming to shore on D-Day. Yet another picture, by Yakov Ryumkin, with members of the Red Army racing past rubble and up the steps of a devastated Reichstag in Berlin, would be darkly theatrical if it were not about war. The names Sanko, Zelma and Ryumkin, and those of many fellow Soviet photojournalists who covered the war on the Eastern Front, are generally unfamiliar in the West. Most of the war photographs used in Soviet newspapers and magazines carried no credit lines, and as long as the Iron Curtain was in place, there was little access to the actual prints themselves.
