US license is less relevant here as the film was first published in the USSR. Not free per Soviet-Russian rules rubin16 (talk) 06:28, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is true that a US license is insufficient and that Russian rules applies too. However, Template:PD-Russia suggests this still from a pre-1943 film is in the public domain per condition 3a, while COM:Russia does not mention this particular point and thus suggests copyvio until 2041 (director died in 1970). Something on our Commons side needs to be sorted out... --HyperGaruda (talk) 20:23, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: This is said to be a still from a Soviet / Russian film that was shown in 1924. Apparently Template:PD-Russia/ru and Template:PD-Russia/en are more recent than either Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Russia or Commons:Нормы авторского права по территории/Россия. Because accd. to the template, the file is in the public domain in Russian because this work is a film (a video fragment or a single shot from it): (a) which was first shown before January 1, 1943 [...]. Per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Russia#Durations however, a work is in the public domain in Russia if the work is non-amateur cinema or television film (or shot, or fragment from it), which was first shown between January 1, 1929 and January 1, 1952. Which does not apply to a 1924 film. I'll go with the template here and keep the file, but this disconnect between template and copyright help page is a mess and should be corrected. Preferrably by someone who knows the copyright subject matter as well as Russian. If this file turns out not to be in the PD after all, just re-nominate. --Rosenzweig τ 20:58, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
