Youth, on skis! 1945

This is the 1945 Soviet poster titled “Youth, on skis!” (Молодёжь, на лыжи!). It was created by M. Nesterova-Berzina and O. Nesterova. The artwork shows a young skier descending a snowy slope with an energetic, forward posture, wearing winter gear such as a knitted hat and sweater. In the background, another skier can be seen on a parallel descent, with a wintry landscape of snow-covered trees and hills. The poster serves as a call to action, encouraging Soviet youth to take up skiing as part of physical culture and outdoor winter sports.
