TOMORROW IN THE WESTERN REGIONS OF UKRAINE AND BELORUSSIA — ELECTIONS TO THE SUPREME SOVIETS OF THE USSR, UKRAINE AND BELORUSSIA
PRE-ELECTION RALLY IN BIALYSTOK
Bialystok, March 22 (TASS). Today in Bialystok, a large pre-election rally was held in the local club for the voters of the 2nd electoral district. The rally was opened by Comrade Frolov, candidate for the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. He spoke about the enormous achievements in the fraternal republics of the Soviet Union, the importance of incorporating Western Belorussia into the BSSR and USSR, and about the tasks facing the new people's representatives.
Workers, intellectuals, and Red Army soldiers took the floor during the rally. They spoke about the joy with which the people of Belorussia greeted their first-ever election day to the Supreme Soviets. All declared their intention to vote for candidates from the bloc of Communists and non-party members. The rally concluded with a rousing ovation for the candidates and for the Party of Lenin and Stalin.
200,000-STRONG RALLY OF THE WORKERS OF LVOV
Lvov, March 22 (Pravda Correspondent). A cloudy March day. Tomorrow — a holiday dedicated to a great national event — the elections of deputies to the Supreme Soviets of the USSR and the Ukrainian SSR. The city of Lvov, its labor collectives, public organizations, and polling stations are preparing for it in festive spirit. Shop windows and apartment windows are being redecorated; the streets are adorned with slogans, flags, portraits of leaders, and flowers. Everything reflects the powerful unity and enthusiasm embracing the city and its surroundings.
For the second time in its history, Lvov freely expresses its will. A city long separated from its people is electing its own representatives. Following the People's Assembly elections last October, these new elections — to the Supreme Soviets of the USSR and the Ukrainian SSR — are seen as historic. The old Lvov, once a center of provocateurs and spies, has become a city of workers, of socialist construction, of mechanized industry and culture.
The square in front of the Lenin Theater (Lvov Opera House) is packed. Banners, music, slogans. A procession to the polling stations will begin right from the rally. The meeting is opened by Academician Studinsky, a candidate for deputy and a beloved figure among Lvov’s working masses, who has devoted his life to science.
He addresses workers, students, intellectuals, women, and youth: “Where once the heel of the Polish landlords pressed down, now walks the free Soviet voter. Where profit once ruled over truth, now truth reigns. Where the people were robbed, they now gain land, education, and the right to vote!”
Workers, scientists, and students take turns at the microphone, speaking about their participation in socialist reforms and their gratitude to the Party and its leaders. Marches are played, and slogans shouted: “Long live Stalin!” “Glory to the Soviets!” The rally concludes with the words of playwright Aleksei Borodin:
“We are voters — we are builders. The Supreme Soviet will be a council of creators, not oppressors. Our vote is for light, for the future, for socialism!”
A GREAT RISE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
From rural districts, communes, and villages of Bukovina, Volhynia, Grodno region and other areas come countless reports about preparations for the elections. Village assemblies are being held, rallies organized, clubs and polling places are being decorated. People go to vote with a sense of the moment’s significance.
In the village of Velikiye Mosty, a large assembly was held, with speeches by youth representatives, women, peasants, and Red Army soldiers. All voiced support for Soviet power and readiness to build socialism. Voters emphasized that the elections are an expression of their will and their confidence in the future.
