Hello, Motherland! 1945

This poster was made in 1945 by the artist Nina Nikolaevna Vatolina. It bears the title «Hello, Motherland!» (in Russian, «Здравствуй, Родина-Мать!»). The composition shows a smiling young woman in the foreground raising a hand with flowers, as though greeting or welcoming her homeland, with others behind her looking forward hopefully toward the horizon. A border post or monument with “CCCP” appears in the background, suggesting patriotic loyalty and reunion with the nation. The image evokes optimism, renewal, and the post-war patriotic spirit in the Soviet Union.
