During a Nov. 13 visit to the Library, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington showed Liudmila A. Putina, the first lady of the Russian Federation (center) and her interpreter, Tatyana Klyukina, several of the Library's treasures, including a political cartoon map of Europe published in 1915 in Russian by Vladislav Levinski, which shows Russia with an elegant and benevolent pose of the czar gazing over all of Europe. The map is labeled as "Symbolic Map of Europe, War Liberation 1914-1915."
