Youth, Let's Grow An Orchard in Every Collective Farm 1956

Valerii Lamakh's 1956 socialist realist poster, "Youth, Let's Grow an Orchard in Every Collective Farm," depicts a young woman in a bright green jacket and red headscarf diligently pruning a tree sapling in a newly planted orchard. The poster, designed to encourage agricultural work, features a large group of people in the background planting the saplings. Lamakh's use of strong colors and a sense of optimism are typical of Soviet Socialist Realism, emphasizing the shared effort and positive outcomes of collective work during the period of Soviet agricultural development.
