June 1977 - Lusaka Welcomes The Big Bear - Podgorny
June 1977 - Lusaka Welcomes The Big Bear - Podgorny smile as he embraces Kenneth Kaunda moment after his arrival at Lusaka. KK, however, looks apprehensive. Perhaps the Soviet President has bad breath! The gentleman in the dark suit is a KGB man, and its quiet likely that he is making sure no harm comes to his boss during his encounter. President Podgorny, head of a Country that has killed 10 million of its own citizens in labour camps and locked up its political opponents in Lunatic asylums, comes South to Liberate Southern Africa. President Kaunda, Africa's self-proclaimed arch-humanist gave Soviet President Nikoli Victorovitch Podgorny a warm, effusive welcome at Lusaka for the Russian Leader's African safari.
