Description
The film contains an amateur film report about the Leninist Subbotnik, which took place on April 17, 1982 in Korop:

2) 00:02:52 - 00:06:19 — Construction of a bridge across the Desna. Head of the district executive committee Anatolii Andriyovych Makhinko, Yushchenko, and others lay concrete. Trailers of Kyiv Bridge Construction Department No. 3. The song Peace to All Who Work (Мир всем, кто трудится) plays (lyrics by M. Matusovskyi, music by A. Petrov and V. Basner). Music slows as GAZ-66 drives through water. Mykola Cherstvyi and workers pull branches, burn them. Officials discuss progress with a rationing technician.

The second audio track serves as an editing cue sheet for the film and contains a frame-by-frame description of persons, objects, actions, and editing plans. It is humorous: Dmytro Kozel imitates a bus engine.
