Mentioned are the following opportunities: participation in instrumental groups such as folk and brass bands, dramatic groups, amateur art groups, study in adult education courses involving 5,000 persons, reading books (braille or talking books) provided by the Prosveshchenie Publishing house in 71 regional libraries, and participation sports involving 22,000 persons in areas such as chess - the favorite - field and track and gymnastics. It is explained that the blind in the Soviet Union have families, work they like, recreational facilities, and opportunities to attend concerts, operas, the cinema, or ice hockey. Included among photographs are portrayals of a group from the Sverdlovsk Club performing the "Youth Dance" and two blind chess masters watched by fans at the Soviet vs. Yugoslavia chess tournament.
