Inge Morath began visiting the Soviet Union in 1965. Along with her husband, Arthur Miller, she had been privileged to enter worlds usually closed to most foreign travelers; feasting with Nobel Prize-winning poets to touring remote villages where the Revolution seems to never have happened; and forged lasting friendships with the artists and writers whose work is the very embodiment of the Russian soul.
