The medal itself is definitely public domain, there can be no dispute about that. But this is not the medal that we are hosting here, it is the photograph of it. As such, due to the fact that the medal is 3 dimensional, it is more than likely that it holds copyright. Sinnamon (talk) 17:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- Good grief! Are you kidding? All material including photographs, speeches, documents etc contained on Russian governmental web sites are public domain. The law is quite explicite and crystal clear. Talk about splitting hairs! This is the kind of stupidity and over zealessness that convinces people to leave Wiki and never return... I thought it was because the original link had died due to the revamp of most Russian federal web sites but no... It was this unbelievably moronic reasoning! Does anybody look after you on Wiki or do you come up with these on your own without having to answer to higher authority (and IQ)? I am simply flabbergasted... In any case, I've replaced the photo on all pages where it was used by one I took myself, but had I read this prior to my action, I wouldn't have bothered, I would've just ripped the plug right out of the wall. And by the way, for your info, your statement about the medal being public domain is completely erroneous! Such items are protected by Russian Law and cannot leave the borders of the Federation, only pictures of it are! Read the law, it's on the bloody page!

- «All material including photographs, speeches, documents etc contained on Russian governmental web sites are public domain.». Answer: No! What you refere to on the file description page is the design of the medal, any photo of it has a copyright.

- I would like to express my apology for angering you. This wasn't my intention. But please don't start being abusive. This is a copyright violation. It is irrelevant whether or not Russia allows a medal to be taken outside of the country, because that's not a copyright issue at all, and Commons doesn't respect those. If you were to take the medal outside of Russia and photograph it yourself and release it in public domain, it'd be allowed, but if it is a photo that somebody else took, you have no right to release it.
