# Row of agitation boards on a construction site, Ust-Ilimsk: "Делу Ленина верны!" (Loyal to Lenin's cause!)

Seen through a wooden frame, six boards stand in a row on cleared ground: a bilingual 'Fulfil the 1977 plan' panel, 'Socialist obligations', a 'Who is ahead today' tally, an output-indicator table, a Board of Honour with three portraits, and a Lenin poster captioned 'Loyal to Lenin's cause!'. Work targets are tied to Lenin's name and to 'Glory to labour'.
