# Slogan banners at a rally on Lenin Square, Gomel: "Слава КПСС!" (Glory to the CPSU!)

A dense crowd of uniformed and civilian attendees stands under red banners and flags on a square, with two Pioneers in front. The lettering is all acclamation: 'Glory to the CPSU!', 'We live dreaming of peace!', and, on the building behind, 'Glory to the Soviet people'. The tell is virtue words standing in for any testable claim.
