File:PKsymbol.svg is somewhat different from the other images, and is arguably PD-Shape... AnonMoos (talk) 17:34, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Question Was the author subject to repression? If not, copyright for these works expires January 1, 2012. Otherwise, we need to know the date of rehabilitation. --PaterMcFly (talk) 07:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what exact definition of "repression" is relevant. His preferred artistic style was increasingly disfavored under Stalin's anti-"formalist" policies, but he died too soon to be caught up in the anti-Jewish-culture purges of the 1940s... AnonMoos (talk) 10:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Everything was deleted except File:PKsymbol.svg. File:El Lissitzky self portrait 1914.jpg was created not in 1914, but in 1924, it's a clear mistake in the source -- see, for example, [1] (quite reliable book): "From the separate photographs of his face and his hand that he took in 1924 Lissitzky produced the celebrated portrait of himself." And he is simply not young enough on the photo to make it in 1914. Trycatch (talk) 02:37, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
