EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we witness a significant moment in Soviet history. The image showcases the workers of State Bearing Plant No. 1 in Moscow, gathered at their factory's House of Culture, intently watching Nikita Khrushchev deliver a report at the USSR Supreme Soviet on the present-day international situation and the foreign policy of the Soviet Union.
