Read and reread the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.

Everywhere in the garment district, by the front gates of little shops and big ones, picketers marched and sang. "O Dubinushka," they sang, and "Tortured and Enslaved," and other Russian folk and revolutionary airs. Icy rains poured down on them, some were in danger of frostbite — a winter of record-breaking cold had already begun — but there they were and there they stayed.

What are “O Dubinushka” and “Tortured and Enslaved”?

signs on the front gates of shops

Russian folk and revolutionary songs.

You can tell they are songs because the picketers were singing as they marched.
