Youth – to the stadiums! 1947

This is a Soviet propaganda poster with the slogan «Молодёжь – на стадионы!», which means “Youth – to the stadiums!” in Russian. The poster was created in 1947 by the artist Leonid F. Golovanov.
It depicts a muscular young woman in a red tank top, poised in the motion of throwing a javelin against a pale sky. Behind her is a stadium filled with spectators and a few fluttering flags, suggesting a sports event. The visual and slogan together urge the youth to embrace physical culture and attend sporting activities, reflecting the Soviet emphasis on collective fitness and patriotic vigor.
