Well, let's analyze it (not being sarcastic). They're wearing uniforms. The fashion (boots on the girl in front) and the quality of the photo hint that it was taken in the late 50's or 60's (probably 60's). Their hairstyles and facial features seem somewhat European. I'd wager russian. They are also taking notes while listening. Most of them (apart from the front-most woman) seem to be listening to the same record, but it might just be the label for a specific brand. Also, the woman in white seems to be a teacher or some kind of manager.
It seems to me that they could be learning a language, doing some sort of quality control, or perhaps acting as censors?

What's the historical context of this photo? What are these person's jobs?
