During the Second World War he was one of the Soviet Union's most important photojournalists. The photograph he staged on 2 May 1945 of a Soviet soldier placing the Red flag atop the Reichstag building in Berlin is world famous. It has become a symbol of the end of the war and of the defeat of the Nazis.
