Hero of the Soviet Union fighter pilot Boris Safonov, writer N. F. Giliardi and Commissar P. Redkov are talking during the Great Patriotic War.
Judging by the manuscripts in the hands of Nikodim Fedorovich, the conversation is about a book about the pilot Boris Safonov, which Gilliardi was writing then.
The photo was taken in the apartment of the Pilot Boris Safonov in Vaenga (now the city of Severomorsk).
