Front Cover: For Azerbaijanis, much of the 20th century has
been marked by Big Brother's constant watch, much like the unblinking,
piercing gaze of the Richard Zorge memorial sculpture on Samad
Vurgun Street in Baku. Zorge, a Baku-born German, spied for the
Soviets during World War II, warning them that the Germans intended
to attack on June 21, 1941. Zorge was later assigned to Japan
where he was executed when they discovered that he was a spy.
Back Cover: You know the autumn chill is on
its way when roadside vendors start selling pomegranates. Photo:
Blair.
Many of the photos in
this issue came from the Azerbaijan Republic State Archives of
Cinema and Photography. In this issue, such photo credits are
abbreviated as "National Archives." Deep appreciation
goes to Director Nina Fisheva for her tremendous contribution
to our 1999 series: "Celebrating the Century".
