PICTORIAL HISTORY

In an editorial during the anniversary of the revolution last February,
a columnist of a Tehran newspaper lamented that "with the disappearance of people in
these photographs, we might assume that in 1979, a  French officer brought Imam Khomeini back to Iran.

The story of the disappearance of Nikolai Yezhov,
the Director of NKVD under Stalin.

The case of missing Commissars!


On the right Khomeini and his missing companions: Qotbzadeh (Foreign Minister, executed in 1982),
Bani Sadr (the first president, in exile), Ayatollah Mahallati (joined the opposition early on after the revolution).
On the left: Khomeini, his son Ahmad, and his disciple Ayatollah Motahhari (assassinated by the opposition three months after the revolution).
How long before this opening closes?

Rafsanjani's exit!
