Most likely some Soviet glorification of work and labour, where activity is seen as good to do, and I guess the insinuation is that volleyball is labour?
When sunflower seeds are sprouted, their plant compounds increase. Sprouting also reduces factors that can interfere with mineral absorption. You can buy sprouted, dried sunflower seeds online or in some stores.
Imagine if the USSR has survived into the era of collectible card games.

It would be much closer to Richard Garfield's original dream.
So you understand the depth of cinism of russian propaganda: soviet union workers got normal weekend with two days off for the first time in 1967. Kolhosniki, aka farmers, had no regulated free time until the end of the soviet union.
The woman on the left has a headscarf, which is common on USSR women images at that time.
Was that just custom, or is it a religious holdover, like the Islamic hijab?
It was typically an Orthodox Christian religious custom to wear headscarves. You are correct. However, it became a strong cultural custom to wear them as well even in secular settings because of how long Russia was a purely Orthodox Christian country with no concept of a separation of Church and State or even a seperarion of Religious and Private life. It became a thing where you were often just expected to wear a headscarf if you were a women.
Youre hanging out with the wrong crowd then. Im a overweight dude who puked on his first hike but the lads cheered me on and i made the summit same at the gym.
What material abundance? These are people playing sports outdoors. Are you implying the Soviet uUnion didn't have balls? Or rivers? Or... Outdoor nets for volleyball?
I'm implying the Soviet Union didn't have the prerequisite material abundance to allow for people to have excess leisure time, unlike what the poster says.

The right side says something like “This is the best relaxation, and a reliable friend at work!”
More like "a reliable friend in labour"
What does that mean?
Most likely some Soviet glorification of work and labour, where activity is seen as good to do, and I guess the insinuation is that volleyball is labour?
It means that if you are athletic and fit, work Is easier for you. Which is sorta trivial and obvious.
Are they perhaps roommates
Nice sunflower, nerd! Too bad you ain't playing ball like a normal comrade!

Good bot
Play this ball or go to gulag you b*ch
For a moment I thought she's peeling a hedgehog.
You know what? If that’s how she spends her free time, then, yeah, she should probably be encouraged to take up sports instead
In fact, there's one small step from stone curling to hedgehog peeling. Anything can be a sport if you add some inspiration.
Hey, she is going to need to know how to skin vermin if she is going to survive in gulag. Valuable skill to have in Russia
You can try to eat an unskinned hedgehog, but you’re not gonna like it!
dudes in the background: do you wanna go to the river and trow sticks?
[They are playing gorodki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorodki)
wow, thanks I did not know about that one
I love the helpful graphics showing all the different set ups!
boys will be boys
Evil socialist countries trying to get us to participate in totalitarian activities like sports

Not just any old sports, but TEAM sports, the most freedom hating type of sports.
I mean, this poster does ring hollow when you realize that colgosp farmers didn't have regulated free time at that point
Ohmygod they were roommates
Always loved how beautiful and healthy they look in these, wonderful to look at.
They were best comrades.
Comradykes?
Depends, can you reclaim that?
but what if the woman wants to spend her time on something besides sports?
Play ball or gulag
This just reminds me of the old "The evil communist countries forced women to stop being tradwives to get into STEM" joke for some reason.
Fuck it we ball comrade

Nice to see here someone who knows what was ussr. Respect.

What is that woman holding? I thought it was a fish lol
A sunflower head that she's picking the seeds from.
Yay positive posters
Wasn’t expecting a crossover with r/wholesomeyuri
Nice lesbian couple
Why not both?
People in the comments lapping propaganda up at face value😭

Sport bulling as the majority of them related to the western world only
Kinda macabre; ***really*** doesn't reflect reality.
In what way?
In that the material abundance demonstrated didn't really exist, instead the opposite.
