This is an iconic Russian shirt known as the telnyashka, a sailor's knit undershirt with dark blue and white stripes. These shirts have been around as long as sailing fleets have, with the blue and white striped design added in the 19th century to make sailors working on ships stand out against the blue sky, sea, and sails. They are also the colors of the Russian naval flag, called Saint Andrew's Flag, consisting of a dark blue diagonal cross on the white background.
