Pictured, from left: Regina Wender Fischer (mother of 11th World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer), Cyril Pustan, and other marchers on the San Francisco to Moscow Walk for Peace (1960–61). The walk drew thousands of participants all along the way and ended with a formal dinner with Nina Petrovna Khrushcheva, wife of Soviet leader Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev. Regina and Cyril met on such occasion for the first time, and married shortly thereafter. Photo c/o Laurence Saffer. |
