# In Our Kolkhoz There Is No Place for Priests and Kulaks (V nashem kolkhoze net mesta popam i kulakam)

A giant red-tinted peasant woman with a rake holds up a flat palm over a tractor team; at her feet three small grey-green men, two holding crosses and one a rosary, are pushed out by the words 'no place'. The title names two groups, priests and kulaks, as people to be excluded from the collective farm: the name-calling and scapegoating tells.
