After his selection, Andropov spoke without paper and warned that collective work does not mean decisions that will please everyone.

A UPI report from November 13 described a group of older women trying to join an organized caravan. The servant replies that private citizens are not allowed to pass. The main ones going to the dead's chest are groups from factories and institutions. Tourists are transferred from hotels in central Moscow to more distant hotels, freeing up space for those arriving for funerals.
