Preparing for hard work.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Subbotnik' tradition (voluntary labor) is a prime example of where this phrase is used. It reflects a collective 'can-do' attitude. Propaganda posters frequently used the image of rolled-up sleeves to promote the 'Stakhanovite' movement of over-achieving workers. In Russian corporate culture, 'zasuchit rukava' is often used by leaders to signal a move away from bureaucracy toward 'agile' or 'hands-on' work. Classic Russian literature often contrasts the 'long-sleeved' idle nobility with the 'rolled-up' working class to highlight social divides.
