Hippies from Mogilev relax and smoke on a bench, 1977. An oddly-shaped photograph shows several hippies relaxing and smoking. Three people appear to be sitting on a bench and smoking. Only the person sitting at center is in full view. The people sitting to either side of him are cut out of the photograph. All of their hands are visible and they all hold cigarettes. Behind them, another hippie stands at center. He looks to camera and holds a magazine up to his chest. The article facing the camera features a caricature of Franz Josef Strauss.
