Russian Memories (Part I)

In this first photograph on a two-part series on USSR in 1990, we feature a meeting in Moscow.

We are able to ascertain that this photograph was taken in Moscow in September 1990. In this photograph, we are able to identify Rotblat, Calogero, Holdren and Kapitza. However, we are unable to identify the nature of the event or the meeting.

Do you have any information on this?

日本からこんにちは！Hello from Japan!

The first two monochrome photographs show Joseph Rotblat in Japan, possibly Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture as seen from the Daibutsu statue on the left. We are able to identify Rotblat with Professor Iwao Ogawa, who was among the 21 scientists participating in the first Pugwash Conference in 1957. We think this photo was taken in 1957 when Rotblat was invited by Hideki Yukawa to a radiology conference in Tokyo.  

Can you identify the woman in the first set of photos on the right?

In the next two coloured photographs, Rotblat is seen again in Kamakura with Ogawa. We think this was a personal visit sometime in the 1970s.

When do you think these photos were taken, and for what purposes?
