Picture of the Week #17 "Alone in Leningrad" Leningrad / St. Petersburg, Russia 1988 In February 1988 I attended the first Soviet - American film interchange in over 40 years. I was there with a celebrity contingent and was to show my films for the first time in Russia. We were escorted around and taken to all of the wonderful sights including the remarkable Hermitage. This picture clearly shows the stark reality of Russia in the winter. This was right after Gorbachev opened things up for Americans traveling to the Soviet Union.
