Iconic photograph from the conference of the Big Three at Yalta. Allied leaders pose in the courtyard of Livadia Palace, Yalta, during the conference. Those seated are (from left to right): Prime Minister Winston Churchill (UK); President Franklin D. Roosevelt (USA); and Premier Joseph Stalin (USSR).
Also present are USSR Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov (far left); Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunningham, RN, Air Chief Marshal Sir Charles Portal, RAF (both standing behind Churchill); and Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy, USN, (standing behind Roosevelt).

Jeremy says:
It was death sentence of Europe’s freedom for nearly half of century. Churchill and Roosevelt were bought and fooled by Joseph Stalin and abandoned their old friends and allies to their own fate. That’s the way it is, I think… 
I saw another - better in my opinion - photo of Yalta conference.

Jeremy, I think I know the photo:
opaquelucidi...
Just in case links aren’t allowed, it’s one of Churchill smoking his cigar, Roosevelt leaning back to say something to an Admiral (with his cigarette holder in evidence), whilst Stalin is leaning towards Roosevelt, as if to share a joke with him.
I dunno. That is a fun photo. But this one above, IMHO, is the better one.
It’s got the full weight of history on it. Perhaps the most iconic photo of the 20th century.
