This is the Soviet Flag over the Reichstag

It was taken in May the 2nd in 1945 by the Ukrainian Photographer Yevgeni Khaldey. It is a very important picture because it represents the end of the World War II and the defeat of Fascism. It's a historical moment leaves a deep mark in the humanity. For me it symbolizes the final victory of reason, over barbarism. It shows Berlin devastated by the bombs, smoke rising but over the destruction there are cheers of victory and a flag of hope. It also represents the dramatic events during World War II and how terrible war is.

The photograph has been edited many times, to enhance details and other things. But it steel being basically the same.

As Berlin fell in the closing days of the War, Red Army photographer Yevgeny Khaldei gathered some soldiers and posed a shot of them hoisting the flag (called the Victory Banner) on the roof of the Reichstag's building. The photo represented a historic moment, the defeat of Germany in a war that cost the Soviet Union tens of millions of lives. The photo was published May 13, 1945 in Ogonyok magazine. Out of the 36 Images that Khaldei took and of all the other photographers who took pictures of the flag on the roof it was Khaldey's images that became iconic. On April 30th there was great pressure from the Soviet leadership to take the building seen as the, "den of the fascist beast" before May day celebrations. Soviet soldiers were able to use mortar rounds, fired horizontally, to punch through one of the bricked up doorways. Splitting up into small teams to hide their purpose the Soviets slowly gained more and more control of the Reichstag interior. Even with the hold-out defenders a small Soviet five man strike team was able to find a stairway and make their way to the top.
