Moscow Kremlin 1987: In the Kremlin there is no shortage of lavish halls for affairs of state. Especially imposing are a chain of ceremonial rooms in the Grand Kremlin Palace, each bearing the name of a saint. In 1987 a British delegation awaits President Mikail Gorbachev, who had earlier received Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in Saint George Hall, an extravagantly decorated room some 65 yards in length. Later a set of cultural and economic accords between the two countries were signed in the adjoining Saint Vladimir Hall. Photo by Cary Sol Wolinsky
