This is an Estonian person, who by the photo is clearly in wartime uniform, hence it is past the cutoff date for PD-Russia, but whether Estonian applies here I don't know, but Ukrianian it certainly does not. russavia (talk) 21:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is very unlikely that a picture of such a famous individual (Hero of the Soviet Union) was not published in the Ukrainian SSR. If you have an issue with Template:PD-Ukraine applied to Soviet works, you should raise it elsewhere. Nominating an image for deletion because you disagree with assertions made by a template makes little sense. Óðinn (talk) 22:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: According to the talk page of the template in question, it is perfectly acceptable to use the template for any Soviet work as long as it was published in the Ukrainian SSR. I'm not a copyright expert myself, but it is there where such discussions should take place, not on deletion requests. Óðinn (talk) 22:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That just means that if the author had been dead for over 70 years on teh URAA date it is safe to upload. If DOES NOT mean that it is ok simply for a photo to be at least 70 years olf. Read Russian copyright law. It's all about publication date. w:Copyright law of the Russian Federation. You have still failed to provide sufficient publication information.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 23:08, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
