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'.

Read from enlarged crops of the committed image; the Hungarian words on board 1 and the header of board 2 are small and uncertain, body text is illegible, and board 5 is partly hidden by a post.
