Image of architecturial works of en:Alexey Shchusev, who died in 1949. There is no FOP in Russia ([1]), and Russian law is applied retroactively to Soviet works ([2]). Should be category "Undelete in 2020/24". --~ Fernrohr (talk) 21:34, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Again, please keep your incompetence to yourself. The facade was only completed in the 1970s, what "2020" are you talking about? The designers are still alive. NVO (talk) 18:57, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- The facade was completed (symetrically) in 1983. But according to Shchusev's work. --Fernrohr (talk) 21:14, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Good catch; I was confident the exterior curtain facing Felix was completed earlier, but you are right, it wasn't there until the very end. To me, the project is a mystery - I I don't recall any signs of construction work on the "old" facade. I recall a lot of noise and inconvenience caused by work on the other KGB buildings, but "the old one" was fixed in an inexlicably quiet fashion. It just emerged anew overnight, and it's hard to believe that I actually saw the old, half-Ivanov, half-Langman, half-Schusev contraption.
- To the subject: "According" is not enough. The project, as built, quite outgrew the drawings signed by the old CEO. The real work of an architect (here I speak as someone from within construction industry) is in floorplans, rather than exterior paint - floorplans definitely changed since 19. For all practical purposes the two men who signed up as-built plans were Gleb Makarevich (1920-1999) and Boris Paluy (could be still alive). But once again, they were executives just like Schusev; real authors are anonymous. The longest public list I found has only six names, some two orders of magnitude less than total.

- ...which means, the undelete date would be even later, because other people hold IP rights. --Fernrohr (talk) 09:23, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Not because they do (they don't - high-level clearance and public litigation don't go together well) but because wikipedia prefers to indulge in these fopgames. Gosh, I dream of the day when you discover Sheverdyaev & Co. :)) NVO (talk) 13:21, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
