Title : The Three K's

Caption :

This famous picture is of the so-called 'Three K's' of the Soviet military-industrial complex. From far left are Sergey Korolev from the missile program, Igor Kurchatov from the atomic bomb program, and Mstislav Keldysh from the Academy of Sciences. On the extreme right is Koroblev's first Deputy Vasiliy Mishin. The photograph dates from July 1959, when Korolev, Keldysh, and Mishin visited Kurchatov's institute.
