File:Cathedral of Christ the Saviour Postal card Russia 2008.jpg

[edit]

2008 postal cover with a copyright notice, so most probably not in the public domain. Yann (talk) 14:14, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep See here, please: Stamps in public domain: Russia.
Pursuant to Article 1259.6 of Part IV of the Civil Code (No. 230-FZ) of the Russian Federation dated December 18, 2006, "official symbols and signs (flags, emblems, orders, banknotes, and the like), as well as symbols and signs of municipal formations" are not copyrighted. Pursuant to Article 2 of Federal Law No. 176-FZ of the Russian Federation On Postal Service dated July 17, 1999, official signs of postage include "postage stamps and other signs put on mail and evidencing that postage has been paid".
Article 1.1 of Official Postage Signs and Special Postmarks Regulations (Положение о знаках почтовой оплаты и специальных почтовых штемпелях, put into force 26 May 1994 with Order of Ministry of Communication of Russian Federation No 115) defines the official postage signs concretely and labels postage stamps, souvenir and miniature sheets, stamped envelopes, and postal stationery cards (the discussed item is a postal stationery card, not an envelope / cover) as the postage signs.
(All "bolds" are mine - D. I.)
It means: postal stationery cards of Russia are not copyrighted. If you use a postal stationery card as a whole (i.e. the exact reperoduction of a card, with an imprinted stamp, the address form, and, yes, with an illustration) you can publish the postal stationery card in Commons.
