A wisp of a girl in a chemical plant manned by forced labor is raped by the foreman, goes mad, and hangs herself. Gurgling with vodka, the fat cats of the Rostov central committee storm the local ballet school, and as they pinch and paw the trembling girls, tell them the facts of Soviet life: "The Government keeps you, pays you, looks after you without end.
