Mikhail Petrovich Minin (Russian: Михаил Петрович Минин; 29 July 1922 – 10 January 2008) was among the first Soviet soldiers to enter the Reichstag building on 30 April 1945, during the Battle of Berlin, along with Raqymjan Qoshqarbaev and others.[1][2] He was born in Palkinsky District.
The iconic picture Raising a Flag over the Reichstag showing a Georgian soldier, Meliton Kantaria, fixing a pole with the hammer-and-sickle flag on the Reichstag roof was shot two days later, on May 2, 1945. The night that the Reichstag was taken by Minin's platoon there was no photographer available.
Mikhail Minin was born in 1922 in the village of Vanino, in western Russia's Pskov Oblast. In June 1941 he volunteered to join the army to fight against Nazi Germany. He took part in battles to end the Leningrad blockade and made his way across the fronts from Leningrad to Berlin.
