The Reichstag was seen as symbolic of, and at the heart of, Nazi Germany. It was arguably the most symbolic target in Berlin. After its capture on 2 May 1945, Khaldei scaled the now pacified Reichstag to take a picture. He was carrying with him a large flag, sewn from three tablecloths for this very purpose, by his uncle. The official story would later be that two hand-picked soldiers, Meliton Kantaria (Georgian) and Mikhail Yegorov (Russian), raised the Soviet flag over the Reichstag, However, according to Khaldei himself, when he arrived at the Reichstag, he simply asked the soldiers who happened to be passing by to help with the staging of the photoshoot; the one who was attaching the flag was 18-year-old Private Kovalev from Burlin, Kazakhstan; the two others were Abdulkhakim Ismailov from Dagestan and Leonid Gorychev (also mentioned as Aleksei Goryachev) from Minsk.Photograph credit: Yevgeny Khaldei for TASS; restored by Adam Cuerden

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know while it's a very good thing you're watching out for spelling mistakes, "iff" is actually the correct word in articles like unfoldable cardinal - it's a word used mainly by mathematicians that means "if and only if". ^^ -- Schneelocke (cheeks clone) [[]] 15:09, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

A 2001 edit
[edit]Hello, I'm going through usernames in the August 2001 database dump, trying to match them up to edits from that time where possible. I've found an edit under your username that I was able to import. I hope that was you ... if you're sure it wasn't, I could have the edit re-attributed. Graham87 (talk) 08:52, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi. Yes, that would have probably been one of my very first edits after seeing the original wikipedia announcement on Slashdot, I think it was. I do remember making it. Sillydragon (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
