Yevgeny Khaldei: “There were four of us [on the roof of the Reichstag], but I well remember your fellow countryman from Kiev Alexei Kovalev, who was tying the flag. I photographed him for a long time. In different poses. I remember that we were all very cold then ... He and I were helped by the foreman of the reconnaissance company of the Guards Red Banner Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky of the Zaporozhye Rifle Division Abdulkhakim Ismailov from Dagestan and Leonid Gorychev from Minsk.
