The official story was on the morning of May 2,1945, two hand-picked soldiers: a Georgian, Meliton Kantaria (selected to please Stalin who was also a Georgian) and a Russian, M. Yegorov had raised the flag. However, it later emerged that due to political reasons the subjects of the photograph were changed and the actual man to hoist the flag was Alyosha Kovalyov. Accounts would emerge that Kovalyov, a Ukrainian, was told by the NKVD to keep quiet about his flag raising. To confuse events further, there were reports that a group of men led by Sergei E. Sorokin also planted a flag on the roof.
