# Лучшие работницы и крестьянки — в Ленинскую партию! (Best Women Workers and Peasant Women: into the Lenin Party!)

Lenin stands behind a red-draped rostrum with one arm outstretched, between a woman in a polka-dot headscarf reading a red book and a woman at a power loom. Below, a line of women in headscarves queues at a desk marked 'Enrolment in the R.K.P.'. The dead leader's figure and name ('Lenin Party') are made to vouch for a Party membership drive aimed at women: the transfer tell.
