A Churchill presentation ceremony was held at the British Official Residence in Moscow in December. During his visit to Russia, Boris Johnson unveiled an original Karsh photograph of Churchill. The Churchill photo was taken in 1941 and was a gift by the Karsh Estate to the British Official Residence in recognition of Mr. and Mrs. Karsh’s visit to the Soviet Union in 1963. The photograph will hang in the “Churchill Bedroom” of the British Official Residence.

The book being held by Foreign Secretary Johnson is the 2014 biography he wrote of Churchill entitled “The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History.”
