The Moscow-Protest Photo That Wasn't What It Seemed

SNIP

Caption: The un-doctored version of Mollard's 1991 Moscow photograph.
 Original caption: Hundreds of thousands of protesters pack Moscow's Manezh Square next to the Kremlin, Sunday, March 19, 1991, demanding the Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and his fellow Communists give up power.  The crowd, estimated at 500,000 was the biggest anti-government demonstration in the 73 years since the Communists took power, and came a week before the nationwide referendum on Gorbachev's union treaty.
