FAMOUS SOVIET PHOTOGRAPHER OF WW II ERA DIES

Dmitri Baltermants, a famed Soviet photographer best known for his pictures of World War II battlefields, has died at age 77, a Soviet magazine reports.

Ogonyok, the glossy weekly that has carried many of Baltermants' photos in recent years, did not specify the cause or date of death in a black-bordered box dedicated to his memory.

"Dmitri Nikolayevich's work was one of the most vivid and honest testimonies on the 20th century," Ogonyok said in this week's editions. "This person loved us very much and did everything he could to help us see and understand life better."
