This is a mistake, the picture is of the mother of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, wife of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak
I have got news for anyone wondering about the alleged picture of the Rebbe of Lubavitch.
I am assuming that people believe that the Kremlin convents and certain of its towers are in the background. However, when analyzing the tower on the right side it does not match any towers on the Kremlin compound that I know of. So I am assuming that the scene in the background is a prop. Which makes sense, because if not you would need to assume that this Russian photography outfit dragged themselves down to the Kremlin with this person to take pictures of him! Alternatively, maybe they set up shop there, who knows.
Additionally, when comparing the width of the forehead of this person to the only know picture of the rebbe, (Me not being a face expert) it totally does not match!
It’s a background photo. In addition, it may or may not be the Rebbe Rashab. Hard to decide.
